That, and they just have more talent at that position than at LB. And based on schemes on Sunday, it looks like Poutine will run formations with more d-backs more often. Someone told me it's a passing league...
He will, although injuries were a factor. With 2 coverage linebackers, Burks and Jones out, he went with 5-6 DB's more than usual. He didn't want Morrison and Martinez having to try to cover Tarik Cohen.
