Calling them all edge rushers identifies them with their primary role. They don’t “back” the line— they are the line. Devin White gets sent after the QB quite a lot. Should we call him a defensive end? And what I’m saying is that the Packers and the entirety of the NFL run way more sub (especially nickel and dime) than what is still called “base defense” (whether 3-4 or 4-3). League wide, nickel and dime account for 75-80% of all defensive snaps in recent seasons. A typical Packers defense in recent years has looked like an even front (four across) with Clark and Lowry inside, both the Smiths on the edge (or one of them and Gary), two linebackers, and five defensive backs, or one linebacker and six defensive backs.</blockquote>
