Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunshinepacker" data-source="post: 507712" data-attributes="member: 9033">Was writing it quickly and perhaps the word "stunt" threw my meaning off. What I meant was that Neal could start at 5 technique DE and would then have the skill to drop back into coverage at the snap while Perry or someone else rushed from that side. Obviously this wouldn't be an ideal thing to do often but as a change-up it could very well confuse some players (especially if Raji/Pickett slanted to occupy the guard that would have blocked Neal and a linebacker looped inside to rush the confused center). My comment on Perry wasn't meant to imply that he could handle being a 3-4 DE for a lot of snaps, just that he would be able to hold up occasionally if he was forced to take on a guard/tackle combo resulting from Neal dropping into coverage. My "most defenses" comment was because his size qould be just fine for a 4-3 and many sub-packages. None of what I said assumed that Perry would play with his hand down. Just that Perry would have the size to help compensate for the larger Neal NOT attacking the line.</blockquote>
