Lowest rated ILB -- 53/53 -- in 2012 with at least 25% of team snaps.

I would be interested in seeing what Keith Rivers or Chase Blackburn (NYG) would cost to bring in at LB or even Gary Guyton...

just watch him play...he can't run. He can stuff the run and blitz, but he can't move laterally well and he is awful in space. I used to be high on Maualuga but he just doesn't have the wheels to be a top linebacker in the NFL.

And he misses more tackles than he makes

Funny thing is he did the same thing in 2010. He was great in 2009, garbage in 2010. Great in 2011, garbage in 2012.

Next year he's going to be a stud.

Agreed, he looked great in college. Not so much in the NFL.

The Texans team speed needs to be upgraded bigtime . Keo is a 4.7 safety and somehow he gets down the field before most on STs . On offense I think Kubiak thinks execution is the key over speed .

I agree 100% Hou needs more team speed at WR,S,ILB,. I really Don't want to see any of the ILB FAs back all over 30 or injury prone would rather see that position hit with a youth movement accept for 1 vet my choice for that vet would be Larry Foote ILB PIT. Foote is older at 32 but still can play at high level as a 2 down ILB had 113 tackles 4.0 sacks in 2012.
