Player                Sacks            Forced Fumbles
Porter                 9                   1
Taylor                 7                   3
Starks                7                   0
Wake                 5.5                1
Langford             2.5                1

I agree that it wasn't anything fantastic, but I think when we lose one or
both Porter or Taylor it's certainly not going to make the LB corp any
better. I'm not real great on my stats but I'm skeptical they find a rookie
LB to come in and create 9 sacks in a season.

Sigh, it seems every draft year we go in saying that we need LBs
