The game and position changes. The linebacker position has become more about passing support than run support. Today with the use of TE's and running backs in the pass game. Some linebackers need to be able to cover backs and TE's. JOK can do that.
Linebackers are getting smaller and faster and need to cover. Others are specializing in pass rush like Devin White and Parsons.

I thought last year would be JOK's break out year. Even before the injury, maybe Woods wasn't utilizing him correctly. I don't know.
The truth is that whether we have 2 or 3 LBs back there, they need to learn how to tackle better.
