[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 1027209, member: 4199"] Which is why I have the big qualifier talking about their skillset. If you can't cover, you're not out there on 3rd down. If the team you're playing loves the pass and you're in Dime more than normal, you've only got one ILB out there. The offense can [I]largely[/I] dictate what personnel the defense puts out there by picking what personnel [I]they [/I]put on the field. To be a 95% snap player, you've got to be smart enough to be the green dot, good enough against the pass to not be taken off the field in obvious passing downs, and be good enough against the run to not be a liability on 1st and 10 against a run-heavy team. This ILB is rare, with only 1 or 2 of them at most in each draft. What most teams end up doing is getting one guy who IS or is at least close to being that guy, and pairing him with a 2-down thumper and a dedicated pass guy. If we can find that guy, I won't object to taking them, but good luck to us. [/QUOTE]
