LennG:

 If the TE switches sides on every other play, do the LBers also switch sides. So does the SAM become the WILL depending on where the TE lines up, or do they just stay where they are the entire game??

vette:
The Linebacker will usually line up on the side of the TE. The Sam's responsibility is to cover the TE, unless he goes in after the QB. Then another linebacker or Safety will pick up the TE.

Many times the TE will stay in to block and that would be the Sam.

Then there are zone responsibilities in certain defenses.

In Spags system Torbor or Kiwi, line up with the TE in a base formation. That changes in the nickle and dime, based on the coverage called.

dasher:
I remember number 70 calling the LB's Meg, Wanda, and Sarah.
How the terminology has changed - Mike, Will, and Sam.
