We switch our olbs, indicating a strong and weak side olb. Our reason for this is two fold. Our strong side olb does not have the best speed but has great reads and will fill. Our weak side olb is faster and can get off blockers faster. At the beginning of the seaon we didn't have them switch sides but the faster of the two olbs was always getting caught in the wrong place. So with his speed, we put him on the backside and have slowed his reads down. Luckily we can do this b/c his speed makes up for the slowness of his reads. I personally think it is best to keep them where they are but when you have certain situations like ours, you have to do what is best and just adapt. Good Luck...Coach Smith
