[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 783122, member: 282"] I pulled a couple of lineups from the Pitt game. I’m not sure if anyone would want to rewatch that game—at least the first half. We gave that game away, but that’s another discussion. Here’s our first defensive lineup (btw, we got torched on this play—Carpenter ran to the right side instead of down the middle). Carpenter is barely on the left side of the screen (you can see his helmet near the bottom ATL. He’s on the bottom hash). Pitt is trips to the top of the screen. Curry is at Mike and he’s WAY shifted to the top to cover the slant. Nickel has his toes on the 20. NG is between the center and guard. SDE has his hand in the dirt against the tackle. WDE is upright. DT is lined up over the guard. The DL is lined up normally—the back 7 are in a shift to the left/top. This is a weird example, because we shifted our LBs way over to cover trips—which got us burned on a run to the weak side that was broken back to the middle. [ATTACH type="full"]9976[/ATTACH] Here’s another one. Somewhat more normal; Curry is almost lined up with the center. NG has shifted to line up with a guard. [ATTACH type="full"]9977[/ATTACH] I realize this is a long winded way of saying we’re not going to swap Mike and Will, or SDE and WDE.
