F5 behind a router instead of a firewall, are there any risks??

Most practices refer to installing a F5 LTM with ASM behind a firewall               Internet --> Router --> FireWall --> LTM with ASM --> Web Servers       ...

Thank you everyone for your replies, it was really helpful, we decided to go with the firewall in the mix, it made sense for us to have it based on our network architecture where we use applications with and without SSL acceleration.
