Are the inside linebackers playing both strong side and weak side?

BB: Yeah, you really have to. The offense can get into formations where they can make the strong side the weak side and the weak side the strong side. Training camp is a good time for all those players that have to play strong and weak to play strong and weak because they can flip you, whether it’s safeties, or outside linebackers, or inside linebackers, corners working on both sides, things like that. There’s always – well, I wouldn’t say always. In most every system, there is a way that the offense – and that’s what they try to do. If you’re the strong side guy, they make you play on the weak side and vice versa. It’s a good time for us to do that and plus it just builds our depth through the season. There might be a situation where somebody that’s on the strong side needs to play on the weak side or vice versa, so at least there is some kind of background with it. It can definitely come up.
