Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mondio" data-source="post: 835296" data-attributes="member: 10441">a "hybrid" isn't being used to cover run downs.  They're put on the field so they can keep up with backs and TE's in passing routes.  The fact that offenses will take advantage of the "lightness" up front and run on it sometimes doesn't change what a defense is trying to accomplish.  They're simply taking a DB and putting him in an area traditionally occupied by a bigger guy, but the intention is to have him provide better protection in the passing game.  with the amount of packages teams run, the lines and definitions of a lot of players is being blurred that's kind of obvious.  But they're putting these "hybrids" on the field to protect against the pass against RB's and TE's.  They can call them what they like, but their primary job is protect against the pass.  That's a DB in my book.</blockquote>
