IF Jennings & Steed can remain healthy that gives us a shìt ton of depth at LB.
McCloud, Brooks, Huff, Joyner, Jennings, Steed, Flagg Jr & Tirek Austin-Cave is a 8 deep for 2 LB spots.
We have enough depth (if they're all healthy) to run Multiple LB sets, we could ideally have some traditional 4-3 packages we could lineup with on run downs, or even go with some 3-3-5 sets on down & distance.
And Brooks & TAC in particular are atheltic enough & have the natural fluid hips & feet to drop back in coverage if necessary.
It all just boils down to what Baker wants to do with these backers, if he can be a little more creative that just jailbreak & stunt Blitzes we can use all these LB's we got to help strengthen our consistency in coverage & overall approach as a Defense instead of just being overly feast or famine too much.
Yeah we need to run some 4-3 with all these linebackers. Too many guys that can play to have them sitting the bench trying to find reps in a 4-2-5 only defense.
