Quote:I guess my immediate question, before addressing what to do with 5, is what is the defensive personnel? Are the 20s ILBs or DBs? (1)


 

If you are talking a base 3-4 with base personnel, my question would be why run that against a 4 wide offensive package? (2)

 

1. Herein lies the rub. Typically, the 20s are ILBs since you would need them to stack up against a run. But to do so would put you at a disadvantage because what if R goes on a wheel route to the Offense's left? 

 

2. In my opinion, it's not a "four wide" formation. Those wideouts are in tight to the core for a few reasons: a. to allow for an overload and crack blocks for the run game. and b. to allow for clean releases by Z and H since they are back off the line. At some point, you have to swap personnel but who do you swap? One of the 20s? Cn? 60?
