Great read SR, thanks.

As i metioned in a thread by BBL yesterday on the BM, the NFL is constantly changing right before our eyes.

This article is a great indication of that.

That's why I posted that. More teams are leaning towards lighter, faster LBs and lighter, faster DEs. This article sheds a little more light on the philosiphy behind that.
