4 down lineman
1 run stopping LB in the middle
6 DB's with 3 safeties and 3 Corners.
2 of those safeties playing closer to the line of scrimmage to help with the run.
I will hang up and listen as some of you "guru's" rip this apart.

Pettway-Robinson-Tomlinson-Allen
DePriest
Jackson/Brown at Corner
Cyrus at Star
LC/Geno at Safety
Jarrick at Money
Just my personal ideal Dime D vs those teams, assuming Brown proves himself.

"And with all 11 defenders lining up within a foot or two of the line of scrimmage, Miami had no way to read who was going to do what on any particular play."

I think Cyrus could be excellent at the Star. More in the mold of Arenas.

according to Love Smith you need 220 pound safeties that can run with a receiver when you utilize this formation

I'd like to see a corner on the field for every WR on the field, the exception being guys like Landon and Geno that can cover.
I'd also like to see our best corner follow the other teams best receiver.
Against WVU I probably would have had A'shawn, Lake, Ivory, Allen up front. Forget a pass rush when the QB is throwing the ball within 2 seconds of taking the snap. Put in the beef to guard against the run up front and put in the speed behind them to defend the pass. The other (better imo) option is leave in the pass rushers up front and play press man. Forget this 10 yard cushion crap. Jam the receivers. You'll get a step behind on the rubs and crosses but you at least make the QB have to put the ball in a tight window and make a difficult throw as opposed to just having a guy running free in open space giving the QB an easy read and throw.
Physical press coverage creates hesitation and mistakes from the QB. It throws off timing and there isn't a clear cut wide open option. This gives the pass rushers time. After getting hit a few times the happy feet start. What really bothered me about the WVU game was just how much cushion we gave those guys. The 2011 D played bump and run and never surrendered a 5 yard route. They played like it was a cardinal sin to give up a yard. Last saturday we played "bend but don't break"
I'm hoping with experience that philosophy will morph into an aggressive go get 'em

surely we have a few that can run with the slower receivers. They all cant be speed burners. our CB should line up with WR and the Safeties line up with TE and RB and FB out of the back field. U would not want this vs AU because they run so much but the true happy throw teams like a texas tech. a team with a 50/50 run and pass would be hard to run this kind of O with

I've kinda had the same idea actually. Deploy a new defensive package to stop more pass-heavy teams.
My idea though was a 3-2-6, with 3 safeties.. So that's 2 LBs who can play underneath zone, 3 CBs who can man up on the X, Y and Z receivers, then 3 safeties who can either play deep thirds or switch it up with some different zone looks or man assignments.
I think in the future we'll see more teams play with 6 DBs as the standard. Hell, nickel is the most common defensive formation these days already.
