For you x&o fellas: is there a reason we don’t ever seem to use special personnel packages when the opponents have 3 and short, 4 and short, goal line? It feels like we are always in base defense … even if opponent goes big with extra oline, 3 Te’s, jumbo packages. Feels like we are smaller and more athletic in base and this is exploited against jumbos. Small rush ends, smaller internal dline, corners weak side with no wr to match up with against big dudes. Why not sub in extra dline, bigger dline or ends, extra lbs etc. just seems we get outmanned or outschemed routinely in short yardage. Thoughts?
