Yeah, I was sorta wondering about that very thing. It occurred to me that dlinemen really could be replaced by faster smaller players who never really get down in a stance, but are quick and shoot gaps and work to contain an offense rather than stop it. Remember that game years ago when Belichik played 2 Dlinemen and dropped everyone else in coverage?
