Frank LeMaster played off blockers & smothered the run. Yet, unlike most big inside linebackers, he had surprising quickness & got good depth on pass coverage right on through his last year & last game as a pro. He filled tough, pursued well laterally & seldom made a mistake. He was a smart, competitive player with good range for a 240 pounder. He almost always got in the right position & was a crushing tackler.
Yay Frank!!!! What a GREAT tribute!!!!

@Bellcity LeMaster and Bergey in the middle; John Bunting and Jerry Robinson on the outside. Not too shabby.

The 1980 Eagles linebackers' corps was awesome!
