exactly...this is about as good news as you could hope for from OTAs.

Doesn't matter if Cam can't get them the ball all over the field.

Maybe he could get busy packing...Take your 17 catches somewhere else

Has anyone seen who is running with the 1st and 2nd team LBs in the 3-4?  I know Luke is one in the middle and Shaq is probably the strong side, but who are the other two and what four are running with the second string?

Im pretty sure Luke and Shaq are the 2 running the 1sts

But this tweet from @Jeremy Igo has me thinking Carter has been rotating in with the 1s

This is my guess at MLB 

 

Now the 3-4 edge OLB,  no clue.  Dont think anyone has tipped who is running with what.  Think camp will be mare telling.  Igo mentioned in the Cockrell thread that guys rotate around more in the OTAs

I would think Shaq would be over the TE since he has coverage skills.  Unless Carter has put on some weight, he was undersized even for a 4-3 LB.  I can see him on the weak side in the 4-3 sets, but not even on the field in 3-4 situations.  Dude is 6'0" and 224.  I'm pretty sure that's last year's weight, but still a undersized.

When has Shaq shown anything resembling good coverage skills? 

  We will be in nickel in 3-man fronts for about 70% of snaps. Shaq is candidate #1 to.be on the bench in those situations. He’s going to have a tough time breaking out on the sideline. He was barely playing half the snaps after TD came back last year. 

  It’s the same problem as always with Shaq. Who’s he going to cover? He struggles with size of TEs and speed of RBs.

Shaq is terrible in coverage

Fixed it for myself

Alright then, who is the best coverage LB we have to start on the strong side?  Luke is our best coverage backer, but he stays in the middle...obviously.
