You sourced an interesting article but the section regarding 5 lineman and the goal line provided a key excerpt...
"All defenses with fewer than four defensive backs are either "Big" or "Goal Line." "Big" includes anything with three defensive backs and fewer than four defensive linemen (mostly 4-4-3 and 3-5-3), while "Goal Line" is everything else. Despite its name, there's no requirement for goal-line defenses to actually be played on the goal line;"
Ooooo, I didn't read that particular point. That's strange, but fair enough. As far as I know, there is zero data about defensive personnel groupings. I don't have any. Maybe 5-2 is ran more than I am aware of but man I still can't recall seeing many examples. Great find, thanks for the correction.
