While things remain uncertain about Bears linebacker Roquan Smith’s contract, we finally have confirmation on which position Smith will play this season.
During an appearance on 670 the Score’s Mully & Haugh, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that Smith will play the weak side linebacker position this season. Smith has spent the offseason program playing that position, but it’s finally confirmation about one of the questions on defense.
This doesn’t come as a surprise given the weak side linebacker position is one of the three most important positions in Eberflus’ defense. It’s also the position where Shaquille Leonard has thrived under Eberflus in Indianapolis.
