We show the other team a 5 - 2 defense, but this is a different 5 - 2.

The 2 LBs are really our 2 DEs.

This puts the real LB on the line at DE and NG.

When the ball is snapped, the 'fake' LB blitz and the 3 real LBs fall back for pass coverage.

That's so simple I can see why noone has thought of it before.

Wait...what? I think you're thinking of some sort of hybrid 3-4. But why would someone want to put an actual LB at nose?

And the stunts/blitzes you're talking about seem more gimmicky, one-play things than an actual formation.

Plus by the time it takes the LB's to get our of a 3 point stance and get back into coverage..........you get the point.

I like it, lets try it!! At least it would put a different face on the blitz. The DE might be okay in coverage, however..

Bah, if we're so weak on LB, let's just run a 5-6. Three DTs, two DEs, 3 CBs, 3 safeties.

What if we ran a 1-1-9?

Had a real nose tackle, with one real lb and then 9 safties?

you know we don't have the lb's to fill that kind of scheme.

Well, we did kind of run something like this against Kansas and it worked after they settled down in the second half. Beal was running a hybrid role on the line and dropping into short coverage like Cody use to do. He has 2 pass deflections/breakups and caused a lot of havok in this role. We also did have Nic in the middle that game so it helped with underneath coverage. I still stay that was the best defensive scheme post RR but Box and Bologun have to get out there sometime so our normal 4-3 will probably have to do.
