I would think by alignment you should be able to tell what the lb's assignments are, unless they are doing some kind of amoeba defense.

you really cant put a lot of stock in what son says he is a lot like his father full of half statements and down right untruths

I envision Brady barking out, "I don't know who's the Mike! I don't know who's the Mike!" pre-snap.

Stephen raises a good point. Especially if all 3 change positions throughout the game.

Easier to disguise what you're doing which is what Stephen meant, nothing funny unless you're deliberately misinterpreting what he's trying to say.

Change positions every play if they like, the offense is reading the formation and who reacts to motion.

Stephen was handed a fancy title and tries to talk like he worked his way up to it. Of course he couldn't articulate his thoughts properly.

What am I not getting here? What’s funny about what he said?

I actually think we have the best LB core in football

Yes, but our Director of Personnel is a fraud. He has no clue what he's talking about. It's just fun to pretend.

 

[SHAMSzy]

this isn’t funny

our linebackers are elite & versatile

LOL

 

[DasSchnitzel]

He's right though. Here's an example:

Consider 2 LBs down in the A-gap pre-snap. LVE, Jaylon, and Sean can all be effective rushing the A gap or dropping to defend middle. It's really hard to guess. Other teams, you can make a decent guess at which LB rushes or if both might.

Dallas can do lots of things where the offense has to ask "who is taking which duty" because Dallas can have any one of their top 3 LBs take on any one of the LB duties on every play. Most teams don't have 3 guys who are more-than-capable at all roles of being a LB, and so opposing offenses can zero in on coverage responsibilities easier.

Which is what some do on here, they hate everything and every player or just about.
They look for ways to put it all down, and nothing in the good to admit or accept it.

Why do you care if select posters dont praise everything about this team?

24 years and counting no super bowl or championship game

Same inept head coach

Overrated defensive coordinator that gets outcoached every damn postseason


Until this team proves us (realists) wrong, it will be more of the same

Stephen Jones talking football is funny. He is worse than the old man.
