After glossing over the outside linebackers’ development for most of the spring season, I opened Brad White’s media availability by asking him how his group is coming along.
White responded with a pause. “They’re coming.”
Since the departure of Allen and White’s promotion to defensive coordinator, he has yet to see other outside linebackers step up to fill the void.
“We’re clearly not where we need to be and we’ve got a lot of steps to take. That’s the bottom line. To play in the 3-4 defense, you’ve got to have dominant outside edge guys,” White said.
