Quote:Jack, Smith, and who else?

 

 

Pullard is about equal to Poz in coverage ability at this point IMO.  So - technically - only two are better.  The point I was making was that stating X-player is better than Poz in coverage is of little consequence right now until Jack is ready to play all three downs at MLB. 

Quote: 

 

Coaches never asked Poz to play Otto. Either they know he can't or he does not want to play outside.

 

 

You are missing the point again.  If they put Jack in the middle permanently and  they want to see Poz play outside, then Poz will go play outside.

 What he wants doesn't factor into the equation.  Besides, he's a team player that's not young enough to be demanding of which LB spot he fills.  He wouldn't complain at trying out the OTTO role. 

 

A middle linebacker finishing his career on the strong side in a 4-3 set is not terribly unusual.
