Yes you are remembering correctly. Kubiak did say that.
A question for the coach might be: Is a hybrid OLB really better than having true top SAM and WILL? I mean, having an undersized guy like Adibi, who some scouts thought made a better SS, really the smart answer against a RT and a TE?
Disguising your coverages is one thing, but stopping the run is another, and this team has been weak against the run.
A little history lesson for some. Johnnie Holland was a HS QB and Safety, he went to TAMU as a DB. RC Slocum decided to go with a small lineup that could fly, and Holland went on to set a school record for tackles.
What is my point, Holland's background as a player has been the undersized player with a huge heart playing LB. And that appears to be the direction they are going with the defense.
