If we're playing a 2/4/5 defense that means there will almost always be 6 men in the box (2+4=6) and if they bring down a Saftey that means 7 (6+1). That's not them playing 4 or 5 in the box. No defense does that unless they're in prevent or facing an empty backfield with 5 WideWtf are you talking about? The problem with not having a running game is precisely because teams are ONLY LINING UP 6 in the box most plays. You are literally the first person I've seen to think a team is stacking the box and trying to stop the run by only having 6 players in the box. 6 in the box is pretty much the epitome of the nickle defenseTo give you a point a reference a "stacked" box by the defense is generally defined as 8 in the box if we're running a traditional lineup with 2 WRs and would be 7 in the box in a 3 WR set as in either of those situations the defense needs to bring another player up closer to the line (a Saftey generally) that normally wouldn't be there. Hense why they call it "stacking the box"I'm against signing AP because I think he's washed up. But thats neither here nor there. Your argument that it would MAKE defenses play Rodgers with 6 in the box is asinine. That's what teams do now because it's a rarity that anyone brings a Saftey up in run support against us. It's kinda the problem.</blockquote>
