in high school most people run a 4-4 or a 3-4 or sometimes a 4-2-5

and your positions are limited to the kids available at the school

however.....in the NFL each position is specialized and each player has a specific skill set to match that position

there is a reason players are scouted as a Cover 2 corner or a WLB

they have the skill set to play that position but not necessarily the other man-corner or SLB
I agree that the do specialize but not that it should close doors when talking about your depth chart much the same way that a guy might play every position on the OL I think we are talking (Ideally) and (filling in getting a job done.)

So what did "they're coming back to the bubble" mean in the context in which he said it? (I'm assuming you've seen the Saints Championship DVD as many times as I have.)

of course.....if you play LB you should be able to fill in anywhere....

just like a center should be able to play guard

but there are definitly players with skill sets better suited for one or the other

not everybody that is an OLB can play MLB and vice versa......not everybody that can take on blockers and cover in space.....thats the reason sergio kindle is scouted as a SLB/DE and sean weatherspoon is scouted as a WLB

different skill sets

They had ran a bubble screen a couple times he set away from their strenght because they were coming back to the bubble(running it again) and he wanted to be set up to stop it when they did set up in a formation they wouldnt expect have them run into a "Trap" of sorts. you know be in one place when they think your somewhere else.

bubble screen in the spread is usually in a trips set where a WR is matched up against a safety

2 WRs fire out and block while the 3rd sits back and takes the screen pass

havent seen the saints DVD so if its different on there i have no idea what you're talking about

Yeah ..special skill sets do apply...not all LBs can cover..and some cant defend the run as well..thats elementary...we need a run stuffer..and the LBs we have will be servicable...

Well ... uh ... that clears that up.
Maybe someone here still has a tape of the arizona game and I can go back and watch it.

Don't worry about OLB's. Believe me, a DT is more vital.
