[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 796878, member: 12283"] No, I would not call it dime if Burks was on the field, because 5 defensive backs is nickel, not dime. You're confused about what dime means. Again, it's personnel, not alignment Just because you use a 6th DB in a LB role doesn't make it nickel. Almost all dime packages feature a DB in a linebacker role. 6 defensive backs on the field is dime personnel. Read about it: [URL='http://a.espncdn.com/ncf/columns/davie/1460709.html']Here[/URL]: "The dime package refers to six defensive backs on the field at the same time. The defense now employs four down linemen, one linebacker and six defensive backs. It is a lot like the nickel package. The only difference is a sixth defensive back for the Sam linebacker.
