BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Tom Allen seeks a defensive edge, something for offenses to, if not fear, certainly focus on, and game plan for.
And that’s no Bull.
We refer, of course, to Indiana’s Bull position. It’s a hybrid linebacker/defensive end who can do almost everything except throw passes. He has to rush the passer, stuff the run, cover running backs, tight ends, and certain receivers. He has to be fast, strong, smart, fit, and aggressive.
“The thing we're trying to get more out of it is the pass rush and the guy who has the flexibility to do multiple things,” Allen says.
