    Well, yeah. It's unfortunate we don't have robots that play flawlessly. Keith falls short of that.

    yes he does.

    Have you ever focused on him?

    He might move somewhat prior to the snap, but he almost always ends up in the same WLB spot - then he just stands there. I have no doubt that is what he is coached too do. He is a read/react finese WLB. Without his speed he would be a liability playing that same role.

    And it has been a shame to see such a good finese LB wasted in such a passive scheme. When Bulluck has been allowed to go beyond the LoS he has made things happen, but Schwartz/Fisher got ever more and more conservative and virtually eliminated Bullucks oppertunities to make dynamic plays beyond the LoS.

    He's pretty much everywhere the ball is. Always has been.

    the ball starts off behind the LoS on every play, somewhere Bulluck rarely is seen.

    Again that is more a criticism of Schwartz/Fisher than Bulluck, but it is what it is.

    he averages damn near 100 tackles a year and is great at pass coverage,can disect a play at the snap,and is always near the ball
    and of course hes not near the ball behind the LOS because hes a linebacker he backs the line up and does a damn good job at it and with all those skills that makes him perfect for our style of defense
    do u even watch the titans games GoT or do u just like to talk trash

    and if u want to see linebackers get sacks then u might as well be a steelers fan cause im gonna start treating u like one dont be talking sh#t bout kb thats a hell of a player who did alot for this franchise

    All the NFL news is put into that particular area. Are you saying it gets mixed in when you select your unread posts? Go to the Titans and NFL Talk and scroll down. All threads with new posts are bolded.

    We used to have a way to select forums you wanted in your unread posts but it was server intensive so we'll be adding that back after the upgrade.

    Actually that's a criticism of a 4-3 scheme more than anything. The very name linebacker implies what the job description is, and KB is one of the best at it.

    Keith has blown his fair share of plays, but 9 out of 10 times he's where he needs to be. The same can be said for every top notch backer who plays every defensive snap. If your involved in 60+ plays you might miss a couple, but he's on top of the other 57/58 plays. I'd take Bulluck over nearly every other OLB who plays in a 4-3 scheme.

    It's called a Blitz and Bulluck, when allowed to do so, created havock behind the LoS. Schwartz/Fisher/CC treat blitz packages like they come from the Unabomber.

    Statistically KB was always solid. I do think many of his tackles the last few years came a little later or further down field than they did in the past. Sure he still got the tackle stat but his reaction time and explosiveness hasn't been where it was in years past.

    IMO KB has been one of the most under rated OLBs in football for the last decade. He barely played his first two years in the league but has been great the last eight. For his career he has over 1000 tackles and 19 ints. Pretty solid stats for a guy who basically started 8 years. He also went 7 years and 14 games before he missed a game to injury. IMO those are HOF like numbers.
