COACHES,

The question is, why are the linebackers being stacked directly behind a defensive lineman, when it is not done in the pros. ONLY DURING A GOAL LINE STANCE OR 4TH AND INCHES.

The reason linebackers play so far back so the can drop back into coverage or react to what the running backs are going to do. They need that space for the reaction. I feel the only reason a coach must stack is because he is afraid of the other teams strength. Also, since the qb is an additional blocker, they must compensate for that extra push. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON. Last night those saints linebackers were so far back i thought they were going back to the lockeroom. This holds true for stopping a receiver at the line also. When we were little tikes. that was the only strategy we knew of. Set up a road block to keep him from getting down field. Im sorry but i must go by what i see watching professional football.
In regards to receivers, remember, the are standingon a square box just like the db. Put 2 cars in front of one another and have both go forward. you will see the same scenario. In the nil or college, receivers have various moves to fight off the los. via us of the hands and footwork. These plastic toys cannot do that.
