Any X's and O's fans out there can help explain... I hear a lot of media concerned about whether Mapu is a sideline-to-sideline LB or a box safety in the Pats system... can anyone help explain why it matters? what are the roles of a sideline-to-sideline LB? do they cover different players than a safety who plays closer to the line? do mobile linebackers play the same downs... cover the same players as box safeties? appreciate any clarification on this... seems like it's been a big deal and I'm scratching my head as to why.
Also love to get any takes on the 3rd rd pick... sounded like he popped in OTAs and haven't heard much of his name called in training camp, but excited about the athleticism and potential covering mobile QBs
