So, could someone explain these position to me or tell me if I'm incorrect please?
OLB is same as DE
OLB Covers close passes
OLB sacks QB
MLB doesn't worry about sacking QB
MLB's job is to tackle runner if it get's through the gap, get runs to the outside and cover short passes.
So, OLB's main jobs are to sack QB, get runs to outside and also cover short passes.
Safety is behind cornerback
Safetys job is to cover deep passes and stop runs the cornerbacks miss
Cornerbacks job is to cover long passes and tackle what linebackers miss
