just like a "mike" LB or a "nickel" corner...you won't find these terms on a team roster, but they are commonly used terms

There is no basketball in football. a CB is a CB is a CB, you are making my point I appreciate it. A CB is a CB he lines up whereever but he's a CB none the less.

You mean to tell me that if MM goes stands besides Grant and blits he's all of a sudden MM is the DE... NO! He is a CB.
