but we have no idea what the offense is going to run in those situations.
we can predict and hope it's right when we are in nickel and dime but I think that's part of the reason our run D was gashed so often. We weren't prepared to stop the run and were soft up front.
Its a back and forth chess match for sure. You can bet QB's see us line up in a Nickel or Dime, and often then check down to a run play.
Maybe just thinking about down and distance is too narrow? Would it be more appropriate to think about which defense is on the field. Maybe a "passing down" is any time we'd have nickle or dime on the field (and an "running down" is where we have the base D on the field)?
"Down and distance" is definitely too narrow of a viewpoint. Both Offenses and Defenses look at "Tendencies" and often times try to work against those to keep the other team off balance.
