More of a being forced to play him at RDE due to extremely poor personnel mgmt.
Crawford's best position in a Marinelli style defense would have been as the LDE (Strong Side DE).
Most teams with that style of defense that have a Star High Paid passer rusher, have that player at Weak Side DE.
DLaw's style is much better suited to play Strong Side DE; therefore, Crawford had to play Weak Side DE.
Note:
In the Marinelli style defense the LDE is considered the Strong Side DE regardless of where the TE aligns.
- It's based on the alignment of the DEs and the technique that they play, not on the Offensive Strong Side.
