Linebacker Speed

[MichiganDad3]

Is there any chance of using SJB or Mo in linebacker type roles? It seems our outside linebackers are a little slow and we have depth in the secondary. Given that SJB and Mo are bigger than Lavonte David it would make sense to get this speed on the field. Is this what the peso defense was?

Pretty close. The peso really used another safety(or REALLY well tackling corner) as the nickel back. Anything with 4-2-5 personnel running a 4-3 base is going to be in the "peso" arena.

I was going to say, replace your SJB or Mo with a safety.

Cooper will move up and play LB. In the 3-4 Meridith and Martin move back.
