Linebackers have always been incredibly important in any Bill Belichick defense. They’re responsible for getting defenders in the right position, they handle a lot of the communication, they’re expected to be able to defend the pass and the run, and also be able to pressure the quarterback, they need to be versatile enough to attack in a single-gap defense, and smart enough to defend multiple lanes in a two-gap defense.
