There is one element of the Dick LeBeau defense we haven’t seen under Keith Butler. Perhaps it was appropriate that Butler finally used it against the Green Bay Packers and Dom Capers, who runs an amoeba sub-package. That’s what Butler used Sunday night, a 1-4-6 dime defense with just one defensive linemen.
He used it four times against Green Bay. Three of the four plays were successful and the other a fourth down conversion. A brief look at it.
All four times, Stephon Tuitt was subbed off for William Gay, who came on as the dime defender.
