[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 830546, member: 2580"] It really depends on the team. Some teams don’t even make a distinction between the two DEs and their roles. Sometimes the same player will take on different roles at different times (e.g. I believe the Bengals used Carlos Dunlap as a SDE in the past, but the Seahawks currently use him as a LEO). Clowney has played both roles at different times I believe. Sometimes the alignment is based on how the coordinator thinks the offense will line up or whether it’s an obvious run situation or passing situation (Pete Carroll loves to line up an extra SDE player in the 3T position on 3rd and long). What I do find a bit odd about our 3-3-5 sets is that we have guys like Domineck and Kevin Harris (both of whom have prototypical LEO traits) playing as one of the down linemen, whereas typically in a 3-4 defense the 3 linemen would be a NT and a pair of SDE type players while the LEO presents as a linebacker.
