With the Bucs looking to unveil a flexible yet simple defensive strategy to confuse opposing quarterbacks and offensive coordinators do you know if the defensive terminology will change under Mike Smith for certain positions based on what fans have become accustomed to in Tampa?Such as moving away from WILL, MIKE & SAM designators. For instance in certain front alignments defensive schemes use Bandit, Buck, Jack, Whip, Rover, Leo, Elephant to identify specialty position that are interchangeable depending if the team is in 3-man or 4-man front to implement a second element to a conceptually flexible defense. In essence a player has different responsibilities based on the front alignment? For instance: Bandit – an outside linebacker in a 3 man front – will shift to a DE in a four man frontBuck - interchangeable 3-4, 4-3 defense hybrid linebacker/defensive end. In 3-man front the lines up off the ball in an outside linebacker spot, and when they show a 4-man front the lines up as a defensive endJack - similar to that of Buck & Bandit - but also used as in inside backer nomenclature if a team is a true two gaping frontRover – a hanging safety / linebacker with 3 down lineman – will move to linebacker in a four man front
