We knew last season what our LB situation would be and we moved a Safety to the position? 

Then when Sawtelle went out, we moved a DE to the position?

We did not build better depth?!?

I count nine returning

4 Greg Reaves LB 6-2 Jr. Bradenton, Fla. / Manatee HS 248
11 Dwayne Boyles LB 6-3 Fr. Miami, Fla. / Miami Central HS 210
12 Andre Polk, Jr. LB 6-4 So. Fort Myers, Fla. / South Fort Myers HS 227
30 Jeffery Farrar LB 5-11 Sr. Pasadena, Calif. / Upland HS 218
34 Keirston Johnson LB 6-0 So. Jacksonville, Fla. / Robert E. Lee HS 212
38 Randal Copeland LB 6-0 Fr. Havana, Fla. / Gadsden County HS 207
44 Antonio Grier Jr. LB 6-1 Fr. Atlanta, Ga. / Mays HS 210
54 Nico Sawtelle LB 6-2 Jr. Jensen Beach, Fla. / Jensen Beach HS 222
55 Josh Black LB 6-2 Sr. Tampa, Fla. / Sickles HS 252
57 AJ Franco LB 6-0 R-Fr. Sarasota, Fla. / Riverview HS 227
59 Andrew Mims LB 6-1 R-Fr. St. Johns, Fla. / Bartram Trail HS 229

 

Of that I believe only four saw any playing time and one started the season as a DE.

Nah,  was better to move 3 or 4 establshed, players that were proven at a few other positions. Move them around and weaken the entire defense than to put acouple of younger guys that are actually linebackers or guys that have played LB in the past.

I can't even argue with your statement. I would rather start 3 young guys and have solid D-line and DB play.
