We need a MLB, one could say if we actually had a MLB that could cover we could go base personnel more often as they wouldn't be such a liability in coverage like we have had in the middle for a while now.
No, we wouldn't. You aren't going to put a MLB on the field when the other team is running 3 WR sets, you put a corner out there. Marvin has said over and over that he views the nickel CB as a starter, which is why we are always drafting corners.
The league has completely changed, you don't see the true MLB in the game as much and I doubt you will ever really see one here as long as Marvin and Guenther are running the defense.
