Quote:I like him as a LB, great speed and tackler. But would he make sense? We have weak side LB in Telvin Smith, MLB in Poz and we are looking for a OTTO LB right? where does WILL come in? Im not great with all these formations and positions.

 

I found a speech that Pete Carroll gave on his 4-3 Under Defense and I think it's a pretty good approximation of what Bradley and Co. are trying to implement here. Below is the Formation and how it will typically align against an Offense.

 

                               O

                               

                                      O

O                            O

                   O O O 0 O O          O

C               O   5     0    3   L       C

                          M    W

                                             F

                 S

 

Where:

C - Cornerback

O - OTTO

5 - Strongside DE (Bryant)

0 - Noseguard (Miller)

3 - DT (Marks)

L - LEO

M - Mike

W - Will

F - Free Safety

S - Strongside Safety
