[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 835268"] You can say it all you like, but your view is unconventional. By your assessment, in those games where Burnett came up in the box with Martinez for most of his snaps, even wearing the speaker helmet for several games, calling the plays and and adjustments, the Packers were playing mostly dime and very little nickel. That makes no sense, and I don't know anybody but you who would characterize it that way. Here's an example of how people talk about this except you: [URL]https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2019/05/29/rashan-gary-raven-greene-show-off-versatility-for-packers-defense/[/URL] "Greene, an undrafted safety who made the roster in 2018, surprised by playing some snaps as a [B][I]hybrid linebacker[/I][/B] Wednesday. It’s a spot in the defense previously occupied by [B]Morgan Burnett, Josh Jones and Jermaine Whitehead[/B], among others." And if these players in these roles are conventionlly referred to as "hybrid linebackers", which in fact they are, then they are not DBs because they are not playing a DB role. And if they are not DBs, then their presence in those hybrid roles does not magically make a nickel defense into a dime where dime is characterized by everybody but you as 6 DBs. I leave it at that barring new information. "You're wrong" does not qualify. Actually, it is not like that at all. And you may not be aware, but the outside zone is nothing new to Packer football. The Packers have been running that in a couple variations a few times per game, sometimes a half dozen, for awhile now. I even did a breakdown on Williams runs behind outside zone year before last, referring to it as "stretch zone" given the variations. The Packers didn't bring in new OGs to handle an entirely different blocking scheme; they brought in to replace guys were not all that good at it among other considerations. [/QUOTE]
