The traditional “outside” linebacker doesn’t really exist in the CFL. Middle and weakside are mostly interchangeable in today’s Canadian systems.
The @CFL_Reporters made a change in recent years to include “cover linebacker” to differentiate the dimebacker/strongside LB spot. https://t.co/LorCR1wtEc
