When u think of 3-4 Sam LBs u think Justin Houston, Von Miller, Anthony Spencer, guys that can...you know....rush the passer.
Now look at the two guys you have playing Sam...do they fit that criteria?
Actually it looks more like
Sam Anthony, Mauti,
Mike Laurinitis
Will Ellerbe, Robertson
STs Stupar and can play all the LB positions in a pinch.
Robertson could eventually beat out Ellerbe or be an injury replacement
If Laurinitis would go down Anthony would slide to Mike,Mauti to Sam like last year when Kikaha went down.
I know I said 3-4 in a recent post but it was a knee jerk reaction. These are clearly 4-3 signings and the FA guys we've been looking at scream 4-3 anyway...wouldn't be checking out Fairly or Hatcher if we were looking to play a 3-4.
It's very likely we will be multiple fronts but mainly a 4-3 base team
