They adopted Edge/IDL over the standard OLB/DE and DE/DT a long time ago but league depth charts on websites haven't really caught up. In general, versatility allows for movement and movement creates confusion. There was a time by pre snap location you basically knew what a guy would do but now with the flexible skill sets you have a lot more post snap rotation.
A perfect example of this, last year in the playoffs we started dropping Hubbard off the edge to either leak to the flat or to spy Mahomes. That adjustment was one that made a large impact. We saw a lot of late rotations post snap of Bell essentially coming down to play as a LB essentially. The more you can do post snap the better your defense can be as QB's have gotten way too good in the presnap to just stand there and play it out.
lets hope we dont start the pre draft: "what position do you identify with" movement ..LOL (J/K)
I agree with the ADG from Fred Toast, he will make an impact this yr and Ive been impressed with what he has done since he has arrived.
The dude is much smaller then say David Fulcher or alot of other safetys in the past but is faster and all over the field and can hit...a very unique player for us.
