Justafan Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 2 hours ago, Starkiller said: The traditional OLB designations are largely obsolete. Teams are replacing the traditional Sam, who used to be a big run stopper who could match up with a blocking TE, with essentially a 2nd Will or S/LB hybrid who now has to be able to drop and cover that TE as well as tackle. Yeah, that's how many DCs deploy their LBs but that's not how Saleh uses the SAM. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Saleh deploys his base defense.

He looks the part, but at this point he reminds of those crazy jacked guys who somehow manage to have the cleanest uniforms at the end of a game. Hope I’m wrong, of course, as I’m pulling for him to be an X factor contributor, getting picked up midseason in all the ff leagues with IDP.

He's a former safety turned LB. And it's why he's probably in line to be the starting SAM. Edited August 9 by reo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot more double TE and under center happening this year based on what Shanny and McVay started doing last year. Define "a lot".

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Saleh deploys his base defense. Again, you are assuming that he is going to stick with old schemes. You haven’t even seen how Saleh is going to deploy his base D. This new move to hybrid LB/S replacing the Sam is brand new around the NFL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I assume that Saleh is going to run the same defense he's been successful with, because he told us he was. There is 0 reason to believe that Saleh intends to change the defense like you are suggesting. Even the unofficial depth chart they just released has Diabate as the starting SAM. Why? Because that guy lines up on the LOS. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has 8 kids. I’m certainly not questioning his base D deployment.

It's not new and the Titans haven't made up some new position because the Rams decided to run 2 TE last year. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
