1) Sometimes rush 3 on passing downs. But usually we have 6 (or even 7) DBs in that set. Dime is 6 DBs. Double dime 7 dbs. Sometimes when we rush 3, we go with 2 LBs, sometimes a DE drops, sometimes 3 safeties, sometimes 4 or 5 CBs.
2) Play with 3 DTs in a 5-2 set vs running teams, especially a running QB. 3rd CB swapped out for 3rd DT.
3) Play a 4-3 vs running teams. 3rd CB swapped out for 3rd LB.
But the base is most certainly 425 with 3 CBs. Hendickson, Hill, Reader, Hubbard; Wilson, Pratt; Awuzie, Apple, Hilton, Bell, Bates.
This is what I see. When we rush 3 it is almost always because Hubbard or Hendrickson drop out in pass coverage. One thing to think about without Hendrickson - I dont recall any of the backup DEs ever being coverage...? We may limited a bit because of this...?
