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.

Most of the time I've seen Moore, he plays DE in sub packages. I haven't charted every single one of his snaps I admit, but will pay extra attention today.
Funny, you are both right. Dont know why people need to throw out insults over misunderstandings.
Moores position is OLB.
OLBs play DE in sub packages on this team.
In the 34 Moore would be an OLB
In the sub, he would line up like a DE
The substantial majority of the snaps he has been on the field for have been sub.
Think Derrick Burgess. He played half the snaps last year and was in a 3 point stance for 98% of them.

Thanks for the clarification. I have no prob admitting when I'm wrong (since I have a ton of experience with that over the years... ) but always appreciate it when I can learn something from it.

I'll try to watch Moore a bit more today, since he is getting a lot of reps lately.
