[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 625576, member: 4199"] True. The implication I read was that they, the OLBs, are somehow insufficient, which is why we need more defensive linemen on the field. Which leads you to 'sacrificing' an ILB. I am arguing from the perspective that 2 typical linebackers are a very important part of a defense that is facing 2 running backs. Thus, 4-2/2-4 nickel is preferred to provide that. I am curious if a 3-3 would be better against a 2WR, 2TE set--balanced defense against a balanced offense. If we could just get the offense to promise to keep 1 TE and WR per side of the formation and not create a stack or motion 1 TE into the backfield as an H-Back... :) That is also based on the idea that 2-2-1 personnel is even appropriate to handle with base under most circumstances. With the modern NFL trending towards receiving tight ends, it wouldn't surprise me to see 2-2-1 defended the same as 3-1-1 a majority of the time. I'll agree with that. I'm curious if perhaps the best ideal would be doing something like bringing Burnett (when healthy) down as the nickel corner and putting Hyde back at safety. Not as good as a cover man as Hyde, not as good a tackler as Richardson, but the best compromise? [/QUOTE]
