Yeah, you'd like to have a guy that can plug the middle up and thump guys in there but if he can't run he's gonna get gashed.

Teams are throwing to the backs more and more frequently these days. Linebackers have to have range and be able to cover in today's NFL. A two down LB that can't cover is a mismatch that teams look to exploit.
You end up getting bombs to the fullback....
