I know the labels are pretty simple....
Strongside LB=Sam
Middle LB=Mike
Weakside LB=Will
It's nothing more complicated or symbolic than that. Strong/Weak side pertains to the location of the TE, assuming a normal base OL formation with 1 TE in play. That's why you sometimes see the LB's in a bit of a Chinese fire drill as the Oline gets in formation. They are aligning themselves so that Sam is on the TE side and Will on the open side.
How Pete uses them in his schemes is a bit more complicated.
