[QUOTE="pyledriver80, post: 102445, member: 194"] The Strong Side should be your least athletic of the 3. He has to be tough as nails however. His main job is to take on blocks from the FB or whomever. The STRONG SIDE has an extra blocker thus making it the STRONG side. The main job against the run is to keep that extra blocker engaged so the Middle LB,Weak LB,SS,etc can make the play. Usually you won't see a SAM lead the LB's in tackles. Against the pass, its pretty much the 3 most athletic guys you can put on the field. There is no prototypical coverage LB. The best thing outside of pure athleticism to have when in coverage is discipline. This is where Barnett struggles. He overplays everything and bites to hard and by the time he realizes whats going on his man he's two steps behind the guy, be it in his zone or in man. Taylor needs to be inserted. I'm notsure about his pass coverage but it can't be any worse than Poppinga's. Barnett needs to play more disciplined but he just doesn't seem to learn. That what keeps him from being an ELITE LB in this league [/QUOTE]
