I've been saying "off-ball" because I see other people using the term. I'm kind of part of the problem.
I saw people using the term when Darius Leonard got paid, and it hasn't gone away, so I just try to keep up with the Joneses.
I refuse to say "EDGE" though. That one is stupid. I don't care if it's a more efficient and all-encompassing term for any LB or DE who can rush off the edge. For some reason every form of draft media is now using that term, but whenever you look at a depth chart or hear commentary during games regarding those positions, they always just identify it as "Here's the DE" or "Here's the OLB." They don't say EDGE. And when players introduce themselves on SNF, you don't hear, "Micah Parsons, EDGE, Penn State." If players don't call themselves that shit, why should I do it only when they're draft prospects?
