Wow a lot of DB’s we playing a lot of nickel? Some of those hybrids so we have speed at LB?

This defense is shaping up to be mean. Hoping we keep it going in the spring.

A lot.

In 3-3-5 it's a 3rd safety that takes the place of the MIKE LB in a 3-4 defense. At SDSU it was the 'Aztec' position. Super interesting versatile position. A bit of a hybrid SF/LB/CB. Takes uniques skill/athletic/size to play it. I think that dude Pope might be the target to play it. Guessing they'll call it the Rebel or something.

Anyway they can play in the box vs run, come on a blitz in the A gap, drop to middle or deep coverage in a zone. Dude has to be fast with some decent size as well to play it. Pope's 200lbs and runs a 4.4 hence why I think we'll see him there.
