Running mostly out of nickel and with two very entrenched linebackers, the obvious question was where the new guy, Terrel Bernard from Baylor by the way, would fit in.
I toyed with showing a clip of Bernard not moving piles and calling out his size, but I’m pretty sure a sentence or two has it covered and why needlessly create a lowlight clip? If he’s small he should be fast and agile to make up for it, right? Well, he seems to be that too.
It’s not that a linebacker can’t use a compact swim maneuver, and Bernard surely isn’t the first either.
Perhaps the “Big Nickel” might be shifting to the “Tiny 4-3.” Ultimately, Bernard’s skillset seems to match a lot of what the Bills like to do.
