I don't think he should be playing OLB all the time. He's a swiss army knife type. Using him should allow the defense to be unpredictable.
I think he should be the "starter" at ILB.. Not necessarily have all the responsibilities of that position though. Some plays you blitz the guy up the middle. Others you send him into coverage. You can also put him on the edge.
Again.. USE HIM FOR FUCKS SAKE. Stop this dumbass doghouse shit we do. Player's aren't going to learn from their mistakes being punished by being not allowed to play. That's not how it works.
He's a guy I want on the field for sure but I want him at Edge and if he's dropping in coverage i want him to drop from Edge - he's more natural covering from that spot and he's a much more natural edge defender when rushing and defending the run than he is plugging the hole from ILB
I'm cool with us using him in unconventional ways but I want him predominantly lined up at the LoS and not set up as an off-ball linebacker
Ideally I want to see various fronts with multiple guys lined up around the LoS like we did a lot with our dime package last year - it's so much harder for the QB to read the defence when you've got guys stood up along the LoS all across your vision - the perfect situation would be having all our EDGE guys at a level where we can situationally rotate guys in without telegraphing our defence - we have Sizzle, Judon and Tyus who can all drop effectively into coverage from that Edge spot, we've got Sizzle, Judon and ZDS who can set the edge at a high level vs the run and keep contain, we've got Judon, Tyus and ZDS who've shown the ability to penetrate vs the interior of the OL and get inside pressure, we've got Tyus and Timmy who both have the ability to beat a tackle outside with their speed off the line
that's the perfect scenario
I absolutely want Tyus on the field but i think it seriously limits his potential if he's the "starter" at ILB because his responsibilities change in that spot
