I do think Bernard is a playmaking linebacker when he's obviously 100%. But Thompson is way better vs the run and holds his own in covg

 

As I said upthread, I'd be fine with Bernard playing on passing downs but he's being paid starter money.

Shaq was considered a small tweener hybrid player early in his career and he still bigger than Bernard lol

 

Yes. If I recall correctly he was Carolina's big nickel.

He was basically playing Taron Johnson's role early in his career 

 

He was a safety linebacker tweener... But could cover better than a linebacker and play the run better than a safety 

 

Sean has adapted but still taron role is built off physicality... he was always almost considered our third linebacker... A Blitzer off the edge in run support

 

He just changed it from a tweener safety linebacker hybrid to a tweener safety corner hybrid
