If this happens it will be the death of the LB and put a premium on cover corners, fast hard hitting safeties that can cover, and pass rushers.
I'm envisioning 5 pass rushers (four down linemen and a move-around stand-up guy), four cover corners and two athletic safeties that can do everything, including blitz and play deep coverage.
The offense will need to counter with a RB that can shift in and out of the backfield to respond to the defensive package. A TE that can be a credible blocker or receiver would also be a bonus.
