Could we impiment the traditonal 5-2 defense (1 Nose Tacke, 2 DT's, 2 DE's) in short yardage and goal line situations?
This defense is pretty much a forgetten relic of the past. You do see iterations of still, but they usually involve bring LB's up to the line. I'm sure someone has run it here and there, but it's it's got be few and far between. With the signing of Mike Daniels though, I wonder if it could be a possibility for us to see.
Imagine this, you've got either a 4th and inches, or you're in a goal line set, say 2 yards and in, and this is what are middle of our DL looks like: Mike Daniels---DJ Reader---Geno Atkins
If this guy returns to form and stays healthy I'd be very curious to see if we ever manage to have all 3 of these dudes in at the same time.
