[QUOTE="gville_jacket, post: 754621, member: 4733"] My understanding about the linebackers in our system is that we’ll play the “third” linebacker out wide to cover the slot, similar to a 4-3 system. However, because of the spread offenses, that guy is typically NOT a TE so you don’t want an OLB covering him all game. Hence the prevalence of the Nickel position. It’s a hybrid of linebacker and cornerback (very similar to a safety in size and speed). So the 4-2-5, the 2 is actually offset on the line of scrimmage. You’ll see Curry line up between the guards and Quez out wide on one side. Typically the nickel will be on the opposite side of that linebacker. [/QUOTE]
