Barnes will be good this year without DeLeone in his ear.

I know you love Barnes, but I am interested to see how all the linebackers perform under a new coach this year. DeLeone really didn’t get much out of the group. Hopefully Kelvin Sheppard can bring the best out of these guys.

Having a year at the position under his belt also helps. Rookie year is hard enough without being brand new at the position.

If they have anything resembling the attitude he has about the LB position, they will be fine. Won’t be our strongest group and will probably have some growing pains; but will definitely be better.
