The Football Roster Post Spring - The Inside Linebackers

The system and scheme are designed to free up the two inside linebackers in Cal’s 3-4 defense, allowing them to be playmakers and primary tacklers. That requires them to be able blitzers, instinctial get up the field tackle for loss creators and sideline to sideline enforcers.  Add in their role in the middle of the field in zone pass coverage and this position requires players with a multitude of talents and skills.
