Broadway Brett continues to post Gholston and Merrimen's stats through their first few games and they are almost identical... it's amazing that no one sees that as a sign that it takes time to be a good OLB in a 3-4. Lawrence Timmons is starting slow for the Steelers as well. He was taken after Revis. He had 13 tackles in his rookie year and got his 1st sack this year. Patience.
I wouldn't say "no one". There are plenty of people who realize this. The vocal minority says otherwise unfortunately.
For those bringing up Robertson...how selective is your memory? 1. Many praised this move at the time, since we desperately needed a DT. 2. Robertson was a good player for us. There were points where he was dominant for us. I'll say it again...it's so easy to be negative. Especially when your #1 weapon of chioce is hindsight.
