Having explored what the defensive line will look like, let’s move a little deeper on the field and take a look at this year’s linebacking corps. The biggest difference this year will be that the Bruins are back to a 3-4 defense after switching to a 4-3 under then-defensive coordinator Tom Bradley. The Mora era was characterized by tough linebackers in guys like Eric Kendricks, Anthony Barr and Myles Jack.
New linebackers coach Don Pellum has over 25 years of experience coaching the position and he will work with Roy Manning who will work with the outside linebackers, in addition to coaching special teams.
