With Dent injury, Falcons take another hit at middle linebacker | Atlanta Falcons

In our new scheme a MLB is not a big deal, we play Nickel 70-80% of the time!

Good. Put one of your 3 midget corners on Graham.

No, in the nickel formation a extra DB is brought in and the only LBs that are on the field are OLBs, look it up if you have to!

Different packages, in Mike Nolans we have only OLBs like this!

Cant pay a man with only one trick, he's right where he wanted to be anyway!

According to your coach, MLB and linebackers play a substantial role. A "base" linebacker plays 45% of snaps.

“He is a core special teams player,” Mike Smith said. “He’s our base linebacker. He’s going to have to play some special teams throughout the season. When you are a base player you play about 45 percent of the snaps.”
