I mentioned this early on twitter, but it would not surprise me to see different personnel groupings with Hitch being the only true LBer on the field. This only works if Dak and company can move the ball and get some TOP though..

Do whatever we have to to keep Smith off the field.

This. All hands on deck - anything and everything must be tried to keep him off the field. I don't care if that means playing Dak at MLB. We need to throw the kitchen sink at this to keep Jaylon off the field.

If our stupid coaches do this Philly will alternate Blount and Ajayi and pound our players into submission

Safety Frazier 6-0, 220

LB Hitchens 6-0, 235

The difference is not that extreme.

It is more important to be in the right place than to be physically dominant for a 4-3 LB.

15 LBs of weight is s lot but more than that is the mind set and training. Safeties and CBS are not stack and shed and hit a hole trained. They might tackle the RB but it will ne after a 7-8 yard gain. This is s bad idea

Hitchens would play MLB and the Safety would play WLB. The 4-3 WLB, especially in Marinelli's scheme gets more protection from blockers than the MLB. The WLB is called a run-and-hit style of player. The 4-3 MLB is more of a stack-and-shed style. The ILBs in a 3-4 tend to be totally stack-and-shed.

How come the Cowboys can’t field a balanced team. Something always sucks. Going back it was OL, then DL, Then DB and now LB.

I heard today on The Fan that Jaylon is the #1 LB in football rushing the passer. We should just make him that and he won't have to think. Been saying this about him all season.....

:huh:

The primary pass rushers in the 3-4 are LBs.

Vic Beasley is a 4-3 LB that had 15.5 sacks last season and has 4 this season.

Jaylon has 1 sack.

I think there is a problem with what you heard.

Go look it up, it was PFF they said...maybe inside LB's I don't know......always so argumentative X....
