Heard it on WBRZ, they used it some against Miss. State. Obviously I know it's a formation meant to stop the run.
What's your take on this? And who's the best extra d-lineman for that 5th spot?

Freak, Ego, and Q.Thomas would be the tackles most likely

I'm thinking either Thomas or lacoture, both having been getting a lot of playing time.

If this removes Welter from the equation. I'm all for it.

Yea, at linebacker I would go with lamin and kwon.

I love me some 5-2 D!!
It's kinda like the Twin TE set I-form of the offense!
And I love me some I-Form!
I would have thought that the Chief would have gone to more of a dime with blitzing D backs and N backs before just adding another big guy on the line. Maybe they just want to see more push I( guess.

Lol, the 5-2 is full of so much fail.

If it gets just Kwon and Barrow in at LB it is a hugh plus. 5-2-4 or a 4-2-5 would both be good packages for us to run.

I thought the consensus was that this was the worst D-Line in the last 15 years so why are we putting more Dlineman out there?

because it puts 1 less LB (welter) on the field

Could you or someone Explain why this is a bad idea? Also shouldn't this help us defend against the run. If I remember right the ends play standing up at the line of scrimmage

Maybe so but, it puts one more big body up front to try and stop the run. I would rather 5 than 4.

5-2 does not necessarily mean 5 DL-men. Two wide ends could be call outside LB.
Don't get caught up in the numbers.

The 5. 2 defense typically had 3 down lineman and two upright ends I think this could help if your ends aren't that athletic because their objective is to contain and turn anything back inside
Posted on 10/12/13 at 3:16 am to bencoleman
I'm thinking we'll see beckwith as one of these ends throughout the game.
Posted on 10/12/13 at 6:02 am to TigerPaws10
I'm all for this for early downs and short yardage

I was thinking the same thing. The difference btw a 3-4 and 5-2 seem minimal. We are essential using our small DE's as big OLB's. Similar to what the Saints (dome patrol + current) or the NY Giants with Lawrence Taylor and Banks (Jack/Sam) ran. Seems like a great stop gap to me when teams start gutting us.

as long as Welter isn't in the 2

Because it's also the consensus that this is the worst LB corps and secondary in the last 15 years.
