What's up with the Jack?

Jack LB was suppose to be the difference maker in this defense. So far our Jack's have done jackshit.

Sherman - 4 tackles
Borders - no stats
Butler - 2 tackles, 1 sack

Butler missed the first game due to an injury, but he's the only one that has done much and did it in 13 snaps. Maybe he will take over now that he is back. Is this another case where highly ranked HS recruits that wash out at an elite school are truly busts? Some of the lack of production could be attributed to snaps, Jack LB was only in for 47 snaps against Colorado's 77 plays, but 63 of Minnesota's 69 plays. Is that do to the defense alignment that White wanted or do to the lack of production out of the Jack's so far this year?

The defense has been doing good, but to achieve more the Jack position needs to be more of a difference maker, this is a spot that should shine, so far it hasn't.

OT-Favorite NFL Team

How did everyone go about finding/choosing their favorite NFL team?
Was it due to locality, playstyle, family, elite status?

The reason I ask is because here at work I often get asked what NFL team I like and I really don't have one that I follow even close to how I follow Nebraska.

I grew up overseas in the 90s and I like the Chiefs. I came back here and it fizzled out as everyone was a Chiefs fan and the allure kinda died.

Anyways, I was thinking about what team I would like to follow is some regards and I have no real reason to follow any NFL team. I follow the league and like to see what teams rise and fall, etc. For some reason I would really like to see the Miami Dolphins not be dog crap. Any their colors have that semi-retro vibe.

The Bengals with Zac and Joe and history of being garbo
The Bills with their history of heartache, like Nebraska and relative wandering in the wilderness.
