Now I'm not suggesting doing this at any other time.... When we are in our nickel defense what would happen if we moved Roy up with Burnett as linebackers?
Any of you guys remember the Bill Bates days? He played linebacker when Dallas would run thier nickle and Dime packages.
I think that would really play to his strength and it would make if much tougher for the offense to account for him.
I don't know that you could do it anytime they went 3 wide, I'm not sure how much it would degrade the run stopping ability, but I think it could be a very effective package at times.
