That dude has a horrible stance, 1. no flat back 2. Not even a low stance 3. chest is straight up vertical. He gonna get lit up by a lineman, fb, hb.

When the ball is snapped, its better to "step-step" than to go foward into the line of scrimmage. this helps To Read The Play First. If the ball is snapped and lb goes foward and all of a sudden QB pulls a play action, the lb's "hook To Curl" Zone, is not going to be covered fully, that gives QB's them nice windows for a completion.FormerOLB.

As a current OLB on my HS Varsity in Arizona. i say right off the ball you gotta take a "red-step" i step forward will give you a nice half second to "read" whether it is a pass or a fun play.. This leaves in in a position to immediately get back to your zone for a pass play, however, if its a run play then you already have forward momentum taking you into the play where you can make a tackle (hopefully in the backfield)

With a bad stance, it's obvious that this team did not make it to the playoffs.
