Vikes' Tomlin to fans: "Our linebackers are good"

**Mr. Purple** · 06-26-2006, 09:06 PM

Mike Tomlin: "To be quite honest, the public is a lot more worried about the linebacker situation than we are. We're going to have some linebackers who can play and play at a high level. ... I hope that everybody continues to have sleepless nights in regards to the linebackers, but [the coaches] are going to sleep like babies."

"Our linebackers are good?"

:shock: I must say I'm pleasantly suprised, especially since ALL of our linebackers lack experience.

Our linebackers suck?

Thats cool... I thought that Leber would be good.. Greenway might be a little green to start, but he will be ready to go at the start of the season.. Harris might do alot better under this defense and without Cottrell holding him back.. Henderson will be much better then he was last season. It seems like our LB's were playing slow last year.. They will be playing fast this year under Childress, and Tomlin..
