I get why people would have this mindset, especially when it comes to the pass rush, since for some time now we have all been very excited about the pass rush only to be massively let down.

However, the addition of another relentless guy like Henderson and Ogunjobi, the return of Reader and a healthy Hubbard, and the addition of a guy like Darius Hodge (the dude is quick and creative) makes me think otherwise.  

As far as the LBs go, so much of their success is predicated on the aforementioned defensive line.  That line has been VERY stout in limited action this preseason.  The LBs all have speed to cover sideline to sideline, and if the defensive line can keep guys off them, they could be solid at the very least.
