Well my last thread turned into a ridiculous argument about LB nicknames, so we're not going that route again.

What I would like to see done is the ability to designate a Strong side and Weak side OLB who will play on the appropriate side, as opposed to Right and Left who will be facing a mismatch when the offense shifts the TE. Don't worry about naming the Sam, Will, Mike or whatever, just Strong and Weak.

This is a MUST with the new Offensive AI option to flip the TE, if not done then your OLB's will be forced to change rolls any time the OC wants putting them out of position. Another occasion of this going back would be LB shifts. If you want to blitz the weak side on say 3rd and long then you may set an output to 3-4 Weak Shift, blitz ROLB and RILB every time. Under the current system, the offense could simply move the TE to the left side. Without Strong and Weakside LB's however, your ROLB and RILB will now shift to the NEW strong side (right) and blitz right into the TE with little to no chance of getting around the edge.

No name calling this time around, play nice!

I think this is absolutely necessary if we are going to allow the offense to move the TE around.

The use of the term WLB, MLB, SLB is only used in 4-3 formations.
In 3-4, they use LOLB, LILB, RILB, ROLB because it's more of an interchangeable scheme where both LOLB/ROLB are treated the same and LILB/RILB are treated the same.
