Position Group Breakdown: Inside Linebacker

Related Topics: Markus Bailey

Ryan Walters puts out a weird depth chart on defense (I’m not complaining, I’ll take a weird depth chart over no depth chart any day of the week). It’s weird because he lists 12 starters, and as far as I know only 11 players are allowed on the field at the same time. He lists two starting inside linebackers and 5 starters in the secondary. The actual starting lineup will be dictated by the opponent. If they’re run heavy, you get 2 inside linebackers. If they like to pass you’ll get 5 defensive backs.

O.C. Brothers could be the key to the entire defense.
