That said... I agree we should target an LB in 2013.

It is a shame we really won't know what we have in Acho until 2013.

IMO MLB is the position we have to upgrade. I think DQ belongs outside. He's just not the run stuffer a 4-3 needs.

Coming into the season, I thought LB, especially OLB, was the weakest position on this team. But after watching D'qwell continue to play well and seeing guys like Robertson, Fort, Maiava, and even JMJ contribute in a positive way, I am convinced that this unit can become one of our best. DQ will need a more solid backup in the future, but at OLB we seem pretty set for the future, as long as these guys, especially Robertson, continue to get better.

But I hear ya, a little love sent out for the man thus far...

I still think we can use a massive stud at OLB. Maybe a Jarvis Jones or the like.

This years d also is generating turnovers much more consistently.

We're really not 'set' at OLB. None of these guys are game changers, they're all really solid but you don't win by being solid. We need a great talent at OLB to really round this group out.

Robertson had a red zone pick against the Ravens. That had better fit your criteria for game changing play. The guy already has 2 picks, and with how fast he moves around the field, I wouldn't be surprised to see more.

The sooner this club starts using these young guys and getting them up to snuff instead of wasting money and slots on mediocre schmucks that cant consistently hold their own like fujita and gocong the better off the browns will be imho..

Heckert has done a good job of setting the browns up for immediate future success regardless of rather haslam/banner lets him stay or not..

Bottom line is that he's a PLAYER. Tackles well, nose for the ball, & seems to do pretty well in coverage. We have some nice looking young LBs & I think he's the best of that young group.
