good question...
Well, in my base 4-3 I play a pressure style that stops the run first. I usually have my front 4 strong enough where stacking is not needed by the LB's.
I setup based on the offensive formation. MLB or the MIKE is tough and quick. can get to the flats as fast as most RB can get there. fills the holes up inside and has great range in pass coverage. Usually mirrors the RB.
OLB - he can be on either side of the formation. Most of my teams will not switch from side to side, but slide outside of the TE when the strong side goes his way. I allow the TE to run his route with the SS coming up from deep in the secondary. Both OLB are extremly quick and attack the offensive backfield. they apply quick pressure from the edges. Also can cover RB in the flats.
in the 3-4, one of the ILB is a coverage specialist.
