Barton has got a lot of blame but Brooks has not. Sad because Brooks has been bad also. Barton is or has been blamed to much I will agree. He is not a OLB and in this 3-4 they are playing him like one more than the middle linebacker that he is. We have seen Barton play for Bobby when we were a 4-3 team and he was more than capable but a 3-4 is a different beast for the middle linebackers. Brooks gets a lot of tackles but when 50% of them are 15 yards down the field that tackle doesn't mean a damn thing to me.
This is one of the reason I say the Hawks need to draft a linebacker early. DT/DE/OLB and Safety. a OLB is more suited to play a wide Middle linebacker like they been playing Barton and Brooks. Also lets be real Brook's play recognition is very slow. Bobby and More so KJ knew what was coming before the ball was snapped.
