he did not incorporate the star role until he came to the Rams. So this is not his bread n butter
When Morris was in Tampa Bay - Ronde Barber would play slot in nickel.
Difference is that now teams use nickel maybe 65-70% of time
Back then, less than 50%
It's just the name for the slot--and with Fangio's defense he lines up
opposite the "Jack" edge player---
Barber would blitz more, though, from the slot---but Barber, Charles
Woodson when he was with CB was a "star" - hybrid player
that moved around---some scouts still call this position "rover"
