Eagles now listing sweat as an Outside Linebacker


I believe this is great for our scheme for him to to be moved there, thoughts on this?

  1. They are likely going 3-4 base defense. in the depth chart released the other day he was listed under EDGE. That chart makes it look like they could run a 5-2 base since 3 DTs are listed.

  2. We have known this since he changed his number. He can’t be listed as a DE and wear 19. Same reason Reddick was listed as a LB.

  3. It’s a 3-4-ish base defense. Three DTs, two edge, two off-ball LBs. Whether the edge rushers are listed as DE or LB isn’t important.

  4. All positions in modern today are arbitrary. What’s listed on paper is just formality.

  5. Modern NFL it really doesn’t matter…4-3 and 3-4 are just in name mostly at this point…plus you need to play nickel so much you are not in base as much as you used to.
