Great conversation. The one option I don't see here is bumping. Having the Sam LB bounce out to cover the jet and the MLB, WLB and BHB all bump over one spot into their respective run fit gaps.
Pros:
Sam is the closest defensive player to the jet and is able to shoot and make aggressive tackles for loss.
Keeps defensive backfield structure in place for ease of coverage.
Cons:
LB movement can be confusing if trying to bump over a gap at full speed. Higher chance of a breakdown on your run fits.
