its a terminology i'm not used to, no. in fact, i havent seen it used anywhere else. if you can show me where its used commonly, i'd love to see it.

They often just put rush OLB on the line. Yeah, sometimes he won't have his hand in the dirt with his linemates, but he's on the LOS.

It's used all across the league

a LB just comes in and lines up outside on the line, they don't shift back into the 4-3 alignment

i googled the term and came up with no hits, so i can't beleive the term is used all across the league.

i get what it is - i just think using that terminology is like saying we'll run a 4-3 defense with a 5 man front because one of the linebackers is lined up on the line. its the terminology that was confusing - not the actual act.

yeah if you think of it literally it's confusing

think of 3-4 being just the alignment/positioning of the players, the d-line on a 3-4 will be in diff spots than 4-3, even if you took a guy out of the 4-3

it's just how they're lined up and the personnel used
