[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 489514"] The writer notes the Pack led the league in 5+ DB sets the past [B]two years[/B], then attributes the 2012 phenomenon to Heyward, a 2012 rookie, and other personnel variables!? In fact, 5+ DB sets went down slightly in 2012 from 69.0% in 2011. While I can't locate a reference, if memory serves the Packers were at or near the top of the league in 5+ DB sets in 2010 as well, somewhere in the 60-70% range, with Woodson wrecking havoc in the nickel back spot. We've seen a lot of personnel changes from the "starting" nickel package at the start of 2010 to the end of 2012, while frequency of use has stayed relatively constant. The logical conclusion would be high nickel/dime frequency is a function of scheme, not personnel. I agree with Jack that the CB crew to 4 deep on the roster is a strong coverage group, assuming good health. [/QUOTE]
