[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: UF lands Michigan linebacker for 2016 class

Maybe they are distinguishing between inside linebackers and outside linebackers (that mainly play up on the line). Do they still have outside linebackers?

Don't most defenses play more than 2 linebackers? I don't mean over the course of the game to stay fresh, I mean at the same time.

Whether a 4-3 or a 3-4, we need more than 2 linebackers unless we want to play a nickel defense all game.

Florida also offers the 6-foot-1, 238-pounder the opportunity of early playing time. The Gators lose senior linebacker Antonio Morrison to graduation and junior Jarrad Davis figures to be the de facto starter heading into the Spring. While Morrison started every game last season, Davis is coming off his first season of consistent playing time and the Gators severely lack depth behind him.

Junior Alex Anzalone, who injured his shoulder and sat out the last 11 games of the season, is the most experienced linebacker behind Davis. And even then, there's no guarantee Anzalone will be able to contribute at the same level he did before the injury, which made the linebacker position an area of great concern.
