Backside pursuit, cut back lanes, it does help. When an Inside out Lb gets blocked at the second level it puts the cutback lanes even on the outside into question. Also when you solidify the inside it let’s you do some things on the outside including playing wider sets.
LB is still an issue don’t get me wrong, but this would make our LBs better by default simply by working through less wash.
