Linebacker Play " What Are Your Players Assignments" ?

[mantaraydre]

Coaches,


lets discuss linebacker play for a moment. What are some of the assignments you task these men to do. First off, do you run a 3-4 or 4-3.

!) do you want your lb's strong without too much speed ?
2)do you want your lb's superfast and strong.
3) do you shuffle linebackers according to the offensive set ?
4)Are your linebackers positioned to get a hat on a rb/te ?
5) Are your lb's designed to drop into coverage ?


THERE ARE A MILLION SCENARIOS A LINEBACKER CAN BE PART OF, CAN I PLEASE HEAR SOME OF YOURS.

I heard minneapolis tom tell george diamond he likes to let his linebackers do their thing.

Has anybody ever run a 5-2

How many coaches just basically stack there linebackers for extra stregnth behing the defensive line.

Bottom line / are there specific assignments at your lb position or are they just extra muscle ?
