Unless I missed something, I've never seen Pettine run a 2-4-5, so there will be 3 linemen, it's just a matter of their alignment. Lowry and Epenesa could line up at the either 3T or 5T and rush accordingly. In a Dime look, Lancaster or my "new gem" who will be revealed in a later mock could play opposite Clark in a 2T.With better personnel who can do multiple things allows Pettine greater flexibility. That flexibility allows him more ways to get to the QB and stop the run. Pettine, just like any DC is only going to do what his personnel allows within his scheme. Even if he wants to do something different, if his personnel won't allow him to do it then that limits the scheme and defensive plan overall.</blockquote>
