It is a good question, just saying Hubbard can cover.
Lawson? Not so much.

I've been a bit bewildered at why we don't at least try to force our opponents to make adjustments by switching between schemes during games. We'd have more talent on the field with what we have right now because we'd be taking a LB out of the picture by using Willis and Hubbard as rush backers. Fej could actually play a cover LB spot in a pinch.
Nice post Chris, Fej definately should be in this conversation.

I think one of our bigger problems on D of late has been we're way to easy to read. We line up in base 4-3 and play really vanilla, to much zone, rarely blitz and when we do it obvious, and so on.
Yep, this is why i keep putting this on the coaching. Doesn't even matter about the players if you are putting them
in a bad situation all the time by not even trying to confuse an Offense. Like Chris here says, making adjustments by
switching between schemes during games. Remember when Guenther did this against Peyton and the Broncos and it
was a thing of beauty and we never seemed to do it again?
