Michigan State Spartans linebacker Cal Haladay is one of the team's veteran leaders. Will he be the lead candidate to play Joe Rossi's Mike linebacker?
The Michigan State Spartans will run a new defense under their new defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, considered by many to be one of the best defensive minds in all of college football.
Rossi's defense is a 4-3 that looks like a 3-4 because of his use of the "rush end" position -- think of how the modern 3-4 outside linebacker is used as a pass rusher. Rossi utilizes two off-ball inside linebackers. Haladay said that there will be one Mike linebacker and one Will linebacker and that there were players working at each spot specifically so far.
Haladay was able to give some of that information, without giving away too much, about the current state of helmet communication and its relationship to the inside linebackers.
