To be clear on Bostic, his value is completely that of a communicator who can get a team in the playcall and organize.
One of the great disconnects of the Pagano era is the leadership responsibilities placed on the ILB (same thing happened with Jackson) being at odds with the talent of ILB corps.
(Which is also a lot of Pagano overvaluing Jackson, Morrison etc. types)
But I don't think George plays as much because he can't adjust to playcalls for the defense.
