News: ST: Healthy Anthony Hitchens returns to starter’s role at linebacker, replacing Jaylon Smith

Simply amazing that the triumphant return of Anthony Hitchens has people looking to the skies in gratitude.

First time all year our starting trio of LBs is on the field together... last year we had the #1 rush D in the NFL.

This year we are giving up 87 yards on the ground with Lee in the lineup-- 165 w/o him.

We may not be #1 against the run again-- but I think that we will see an improvement for sure.

This would be a great game for both Lee and Hitchens to come with a turn-around, each. Match that, with five sacks up front...
