Inside linebacker and outside linebacker. The sand linebacker or your strong linebacker is considered an outside linebacker. Your weak side linebacker or your wheel linebacker is an outside linebacker. The only thing really different about them is that their job is to contain. So if the ball is moving outside their job is to push it back to the middle linebacker, so he can make a play. If you have a really good sand linebacker he'll make the play, so the job of the outside line backer is to push pressure back to the inside.
