[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879553"] I said nothing of the sort. I don't know where you come up with 5. You're either overlooking rotations or having trouble counting heads. Yes, it's a passing league. 75 - 80% of snaps are nickel and dime. As I've noted several times the Smiths played too many snaps last season--75% each is a good number. You might have noticed that I do not endorse signing Griffen because, among other things, he's an edge player not a 3-4 base DE. But lets say they did sign him as an edge. With Z. Smith playing a good deal of 3-tech, maybe Griffen and Gary getting snaps there as well, and P. Smith each playing 75% of the snaps gets you to 300%--3 on the field on any one play on average. Again, that head counting and rotations thing seems to be a problem there. So, your nickel defense defense looks like this: DL - Clark and Z. Smith (with maybe Griffen or Gary in rotation with Lowry on reduced snaps) OLB - P. Smith and Griffen (with Z. Smith and Gary in rotation) That's 6 guys covering 4 positions, each getting on average 67% of those nickel/dime snaps. Somebody(s) will miss game(s). Some will be less effective than others, probably Lowry or maybe Gary shifting some snaps to the other guys. By the way, Clark's 84% snap count last season is too high as well. ILB - Kirsey and either Martin (if he demonstates 3-down coverage chops) or Greene as the nickel/dime hybrid ILB which is what he was doing week 1 last year before he was injured. CB - 3 guys with the slot corner TBD S - 2 guys You've got 7 guys in coverage assuming no blitz, while subbing and rotating to keep everybody up front fresh. And I still do not endorse signing Griffen, but if they did this is what you're looking at unless Pettine is going to play a lot more 4-3 hybrid. Looking at Griffen as a base 3-4 DE, strikes me as barking up the wrong tree. [/QUOTE]
