Quote:I thought the LEO job was to get the QB. Not to stop the run unless the rb just runs into him.


If Yannick is the better pure rusher, wouldn't he be the better LEO?

No, the LEO has to be able to set the edge and play the run as well. As defined by Pete Carroll, the LEO is the best pass rusher on the team and has to be athletic and able move around. But he also must be able to set the edge and play the run in the C Gap. If Ngakoue can't play the run then he should not be the starting LEO. 

 

Quote:You understand the "Otto" is a linebacker, right?


Pretty sure that was exactly his point. People act like Leo,Otto, Jack, Bandit, or any other unorthodox position is rare in the NFL.

The LEO is unique because it's an undersized 4-3 weak side DE. It's basically a 3-4 OLB that plays with his hands in the dirt up on the line of scrimmage.

I just watch the full game and skip past Florida offensive series.
