Has anyone seen who is running with the 1st and 2nd team LBs in the 3-4?  I know Luke is one in the middle and Shaq is probably the strong side, but who are the other two and what four are running with the second string?

Im pretty sure Luke and Shaq are the 2 running the 1sts

But this tweet from @Jeremy Igo has me thinking Carter has been rotating in with the 1s

This is my guess at MLB 

 

Now the 3-4 edge OLB,  no clue.  Dont think anyone has tipped who is running with what.  Think camp will be mare telling.  Igo mentioned in the Cockrell thread that guys rotate around more in the OTAs

I would think Shaq would be over the TE since he has coverage skills.  Unless Carter has put on some weight, he was undersized even for a 4-3 LB.  I can see him on the weak side in the 4-3 sets, but not even on the field in 3-4 situations.  Dude is 6'0" and 224.  I'm pretty sure that's last year's weight, but still a undersized.

When has Shaq shown anything resembling good coverage skills? 

  We will be in nickel in 3-man fronts for about 70% of snaps. Shaq is candidate #1 to.be on the bench in those situations. He’s going to have a tough time breaking out on the sideline. He was barely playing half the snaps after TD came back last year. 

  It’s the same problem as always with Shaq. Who’s he going to cover? He struggles with size of TEs and speed of RBs.

Shaq is terrible in coverage

      2025 season

      By spydaman27 · Posted

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.
