Yeah you add so much. Mosley dealt with more lead blockers because why, you say so?? I didn't address schematic differences, when did you?? You just disproved your own point. You make two observations without backing either up with facts.
I have a fact in the post. If you look hard enough, you might find it. Who knows? Maybe you'll even find the ability to talk about the football players!
Ohio State plays a 4-3 defense where Ryan Shazier plays the Will position or weakside linebacker. On the average run play, the Sam linebacker, the linebacker lined up on the TE, will usually attempt to take the TE on. During the same play, the Mike linebacker, the linebacker between the weakside and strongside linebacker, will have to face the lead blocking fullback. This leaves the Will linebacker, Ryan Shazier in this case, to tackle the running back from the backside which given his amazing athleticism he's quite adept at. When Will linebackers are tasked with going against blockers they usually fail as is the case with Shazier.
I just watched most of his game against Michigan State, and he made one play where he ran the RB down from the backside, but other than that he was invisible. He even gave up the game sealing touchdown by getting washed out by a guard. There's a reason why every scout says that CJ Mosley is the best LB in the draft right now and not Ryan Shazier. (Hint: It's not because you're smarter than them)
Alabama plays a 3-4 defense where CJ Mosley plays the Mike position. In a 3-4 defense, the inside linebackers have to be able to play the role of a Sam linebacker in the 4-3 because they end up playing that role quite a bit. Now do you see the schematic difference or do I have still have to continue spelling it out for you like a child?

Once again I must admit my lack of pedigree in this area.
Stick to what you know because it's obviously not this.
