Agreed. DLs are down in a 3 point stance, DBs are out in space. LBs are the ones who are close to the ball, but standing up and looking around. They have to take it all in and then react in a very instinctive fashion, even if they have "assignments" at the beginning of each play.

"Development" is a valid term if you switch a kid's position and then he does well. You have to credit "development" for Warren Sapp, though obviously he had some physical gifts and great drive. But, yeah, when kids continue to play the same position they've always played, it's not...
