LBs by committee

May 04, 2018 05:29AM
It's true that as far as starting units LB is the most questionable. But when you have the defensive line in front of them and secondary behind them that group does, they'll be in OK shape...

I fully believe Wade will continue to use LB by committee and put players on the field in the roles and situations that suit them. And if you look at 2017 snap counts and consider how much the team plays nickel or dime defense this is really what they need to fill:

ILB- 2,178 snaps combined

OLB- 2,089 snaps combined

So how might those get allocated in 2018? Could maybe be something like this?

ILB- Barron (850), Wilson (600), Kiser (400), Littleton (300)
OLB- Ebukam (675), Longacre (600), Okoronkwo (525), Thompson/Price (200)
