In today's game, would you agree the differences between LBs-DBs-Ss is closing?
I mean, most teams are in a subpackage the majority of the time. Within those personnel groupings, you have coverages that require almost each player to know, understand, and apply what happens with their role and the role of the other players in their assignment.

Some college teams even effectively split their coverages - e.g. half the field playing man and the other half playing zone. There's an entire group of coverage defenders linked together.

Take the "MLB" (I presume maybe Mauioga?) as an example. Against a lot of modern offensive formations, where you have 3 receivers to a side (3 x 1), that MLB dude has to make multiple decisions immediately. And, depending on that decision, it ripples across multiple defenders.

So, yeah, everyone has to process information and communicate whether you're a Safety, Nickel DB, Outside Corner, or LB who's now something like a Nickel player also responsible for a run fit. Personally, I like it. I think defense is fascinating. I think this trend illuminates "football players" over specialists.
 
The problem I've always had with personnel-based packages is tipping the defense off based on who lines up. It would be nice to avoid the D just putting 11 in the box when Jacurri comes in if he's just gonna run zone-read. If we do develop packages for him I'd like to see some RPO, some rollout/half field one read and go stuff. Similar to what we gave Malik Rosier.
This 100%. Every time Jacurri came in last year you know we were running the ball one way or another. It was really bad.
 
You used to be Top 5 - minimum. Let me go check and report back to you and MKlein13 as the checker of facts.
Oh boy… so @Mklein13 is right in that @Empirical Cane is up there - he’s at number 2…


but….



Here’s the Sweet 16…
