[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 527418, member: 4199"] You're probably mistaken, Capers doesn't run a 2-5 much at all, if ever. You're probably confusing our nickel package which is technically a 2-4. However, I invite you to squint your eyes and tilt your head slightly to the left and you'll see it looks pretty much like 4-3 teams 4-2 nickel. Our "ends" just happen to be standing up (Matthews and Perry). That package really isn't any different than moving your ends to tackle (ala the Giants) and your OLB to rush-end (ala the Broncos with Von Miller) to end for your nickel defense. In theory, you're getting your best rushers on the field at the likely expense of taking your run stuffers off. Against the Lions, we paid the price. Trot out 3-1-1 offense personnel, and 90% of the league will response with nickel. Unforunately, we decided not to tackle well and this created opportunities for Bush. This is standard offensive play caller stuff. Now, assuming I was the DC, I would have liked to have run some kind of Corner-Okie, ie, base, but pull one safety and add a corner. Let Burnett help on Johnson, leave everyone else Man to Man. Risky, but so was what we ended up running anyway. [/QUOTE]
