Cowboys | Fujita to Play Strongside LB

Tue, 6 Sep 2005 07:07:21 -0700

Richard Durrett, of the Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys LB Scott Fujita will play the strongside linebacker position along with LB Al Singleton in the team's 3-4 defensive scheme this year.

*************************************************

So let me get this right. Burnett is starting at the Will & Singleton has been switched to the Sam to fight for time with Fujita? What's going on with Ware? Or is Ware locked in at the Will with Burnett riding the pine behind him?

Can any 'Pokes fans illuminate? I find it hard to believe that Burnett can't get onto the field given his talent level and that reports have been saying that he has looked very good in preseason.

Oh boy this would be SO solid if Burnett is starting at WLB! But what about Bradie James?We need confirmation.

looks like this writer is confusing the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes.this may be correct when they go 4-3 with Ware being used as a DE.but all I've read seems to indicate that the 3-4 will be used most of the time.

True ... the correct designation for Singleton/Fujita and Burnett is SOLB and WOLB respectfully ... most of the time at least!
