McCourty and Arrington are at corner, with Chung coming into the picture and I assume Meriweather deep. So I'd have to guess there's a third safety somewhere deep like Meriweather while Chung is playing that safety/LB hybrid. In that case, then both Guyton and Dane are OLBs.
Which is all a really long way of saying it's not really a normal set-up. Then again, who knows what BB will devise now without Cunningham?

That is our 3-3-5 nickel.
We have done a lot more of that this year than the 4-2-5 which we favored in other seasons.
Fletcher gets most of his reps in the sub, often with those other 5 guys.
