asking a player to be a main focus of stopping the run AND then asking the player to be responsible for the deep middle on passing players is just begging for problems in coverage.

The only position Pollard could possibly play is WLB, which happens to also be our only good linebacker's position.
People say you need small guys for a scheme that plays a lot of cover 2 and cover 3, but Herm took John Lynch (who many said was too slow to be a safety and should be converted to linebacker) and made him very effective at strong safety in this scheme.
What's wrong with a bigger, physical defense? We're not a dome team. I like Johnson at WLB, Harris at MLB, and my guess is Fox gets his shot at SLB. Pollard and Page at safeties (although Knight might get one more year).
