[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 780524, member: 4199"] Problem with that is what Matthews is good at vs. what is required for a WILL is backwards. A WILL is typically the most coverage-centric linebacker. He's also the clean-up run defender, the flow-to-the-ball defender. He seldom takes on blocks. And because of the job description, he tends to be the lightest and fastest. Matthews isn't either. If I was forced to play a 4-3 tomorrow with our roster and not shuffle guys, Matthews would be the SAM, Ryan the MIKE, and Martinez the WILL. Depending on how they'd perform, Burks and Jones would be the primary replacement candidates to be the WILL. If that happened, I'd kick Martinez in to MIKE. [/QUOTE]
