The term tweener gets used a lot in the NFL. Guys who sort of float between two positions without being a perfect fit for either. Or they fit an entirely new position specific to a team. Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker took to Twitter and said he believes Steelers safety Terrell Edmunds needs to be moved to the dime linebacker position.
Dime linebacker, in the Steelers scheme, is a coverage linebacker who needs to be able to cover slot receivers and tight ends. They also have to be ready to stick their nose in the pile and stop a surprise run on a passing down.
