Quote:I think the next coach will move poz to strong side, which is common for aging linebackers so they can mainly focus on setting the edge, and shooting the gaps against the run, and I think you'll see jack start at mike, so poz being on the field he can still make the calls, but I think we'll see them all 3 on the field together most of next year. I also hope we draft 2 quality lbs so we have better depth. (Fingers crossed for jarrah Davis out of florida, perfect for sam)

Ooooh I disagree with this on any number of levels.

 

First off he's 32.  A new coach will likely try to phase him out for youth and speed.

 

Secondly, at Sam, he would be required to cover TEs on occasion-NOT his forte.

 

I also think the scheme will dictate if he stays and, if so, where he plays.

 

I think if the new coach employs a speed based 4-3 (Smith), Poz is phased out.

 

If a 3-4 is used, Poz MIGHT stay due to the need to have numbers and size at ILB, but one of the reasons he left Buffalo is that he didn't want to play in a 3-4.  Furthermore, if a blitz heavy 3-4 is used, I don't think Poz plays OLB.
