[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 796865"] It is not symantics at all. Whitehead was taking Burks snaps doing what Burks was doing. Would you call it dime in games where Burks got a high snap count? No, you would not. So what is "dime"? 6 DBs playing in the defensive backfield. Traditionally, it is a long yardage personnel group, typically zone or a man/zone combo. It's still played that way. The fact of the matter is Whitehead was in the box almost all day, defending the run or dropping in coverage just like an ILB. Because that is what he was in the current world of hybrid ILBs. The prototypical long yardage (or late game prevent) dime is cover 2 or cover 3 with an ILB dropping into the 10-ish yards deep middle zone with 7 in coverage. I don't care how many reporters or commentators may have called this "dime", it was not. What we can say is Pettine played a ton of nickel and a more than "normal" amount of dime as has been the case when the full complement of DBs have been active and healthy enough for a full boat of snaps. That would not include Whitehead in the Rams game. [/QUOTE]
