[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 576364, member: 4199"] I'm reasonably confident that Matthews crashing down was the play call. The defense is the "scrape and exchange," where the End (which is what Matthews is in nickel, for this discussion) crashes down taking out the running back. The linebacker, Hawk or Lattimore/Jones, scrapes behind him and is responsible for the quarterback. It's the "backwards" way of how much of us who played against the option in high school, where the End has contain/the quarterback.

Why is it at least sometimes preferred? I honestly don't know, I need to read more. My gut tells me that it puts the end into a better position to rush the passer, should the play call be "read-option-play action," but I could be wrong. The other thing we could do is bring our safeties into the box and trust our corners to not be burnt deep in man-to-man. Against the 49ers, where Kappernick hasn't consistently shown himself as a pocket passer with great touch, I might take that gamble...if Shields and Tramon were both healthy. Against Carolina, I wouldn't call Cover-0 nearly as much, because Cam is a more accurate deep thrower. [/QUOTE]
