re: Marcel Brooks Position Going Forward

The game has evolved to a point that defensive coordinators want as many guys as possible who are hybrid. Classifying one of these guys as a linebacker or a safety does not make sense. On some plays Brooks will be a LB, and on some he will be a safety. If this confuses you then it's working. The point is to confuse the QB.
A good DC in today's game wants two down linemen (or 3), two corners (or 3) and 5 to 7 hybrids.

Agreed. Lots of people worried about the 4-3 defense but we were mostly in 4-2-5 this year

i agree with the hybrid role but, hes been a pass rush specialist for a while now... Im wondering how well he can cover as a safety, (you still have to cover guys as a DB) just wondering what kind of experience he has in that.. I think adding about 20-25lbs is in his best interest and makes the move to OLB/S kid is a freak athlete and im really excited about him next year but he is gonna have to put on some weight unless he moves directly to safety and i dont see that happening..

Essentially, today's DCs want enough bulk up front to control the line while putting the best athletes behind them to defend the RPO stuff. Speed is imperative. If you ain't got it, then you won't see much PT.

Well, you can see why when offenses are trending towards what LSU’s looked like last year. The same personnel can provide many looks, sometimes with players changing their roles, always looking for mismatches.
If you can field hybrid personnel then you have a lot of room to adapt your scheme to theirs without creating more holes.
