[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 559088, member: 4199"] You're just being silly. Capers doesn't want an extra DB "just because," he's doing it to match personnel. If the offense comes out 3WR and you DON'T counter with 3CB most of the time, you will lose. Horribly. The only times that Capers regularly matches nickel vs. base offense if it's 3rd and long (but that grouping is odd in the modern game) or if we're playing a team with a great receiving tight end that requires a CB to stop. Which brings up the next point. It's okay to have 6 in the box against a 3WR set because the offense gave up a blocker. Similarly, calling 2-1-2 offenses and 4-3/3-4 defenses base is going to stop being the norm. If offenses are 3-1-1 most of the time, THAT will become base. Similarly, nickel will become base defense. Because again, for all their short comings, our ILBs are the best on our roster at doing their assigned task. No. Absolutely not. This is the part where you are completely wrong. Ignore what the roster says and look at their alignment and responsibilities. Our OLBs are ends when we play nickel. They just happen to be standing up. Call nickel ends and nickel OLBs what they are: Edge Rushers. That is their position. It is customary put lighter, better rushers at end in a 4-2 nickel. Denver, for example, puts Von Miller at end in nickel situations. He weighs 250 pounds. Presumably, DeMarcus Ware will be the other edge rusher. He's 258. Going back a season, Dumervil is 260. CM3 weighs 255. Perry is 265. Guess what, we're heavier! Swap in Neal and/or Peppers and we're WAY heavier. Our combined weight at "edge rusher" is 520 pounds. Vikings (Robbinson and Griffen): 532; 12 pounds heavier (Oh nos!) Broncos: 518 pounds; 2 pounds lighter (Oh nos!) [/QUOTE]
