The strong side lbs usually have to be bigger because they are taking on more blocks in the run game. The weak-side lb can be smaller because they are needed to use their quickness and agility to operate in space.

When a weakside LB switches to the strong side they tend to have lesser productive seasons (ex. Cato June in Tampa).

Right. The SLB lines up on the same side as the TE. Do you remember Witten beating Marcus for a TD last year? (Even though it was Hortons fault for not coming over the top like he was suppose to) That's why the SLB usually covers the TE. They line up on the same side. So what are we wrong about?
