To play the devil's advocate here, the LB positions are universally referred to as "LOLB, MLB, ROLB" in 4-3 schemes and "LOLB, LILB, RILB, ROLB" in 3-4 schemes. Granting the option to designate on the depth chart which LB is the strong/weak LB, I'm all for. But arranging the names into something that resembles a quirk in GLB, I'm not for.
How do you propose the issue is fixed then?
You can call the LB's Moe, Larry, and Curly for all I care, but the ability to shift the TE changes the dynamics of defensive play calling. This is the type of thing that in a regular game could be adjusted for on the fly (if I come out of the huddle knowing we're blitzing/shifting weakside and the offense shifts the weakside we can shift the rush on the fly, if we come out knowing we're blitzing ROLB regardless of strength we can shift coverage on the fly) as it stands now, the AI can't handle it, both from a shift/blitz perspective, AND a man coverage perspective.
