Don't forget if you comment on one thing you must comment on ALL things or some posters will get pissy.I did. Check my Did Geno Eat some Meat thread.
If your not counting people outside of the tackles then Your 5 would be my 7. I would consider a DE or 3-4 OLB to be in the box eventhough they line up outside the tackle.I just.checked if there was a definition change since 35 years ago. There isn't.

"In the box" is the width of the OL including inline TEs and extends 3-5 yards from the LOS.
What definition are you using that counts DBs 10 yards deep and/or lined up across from slots and wides?
That's why I provided.you the definition. We were talking past each other because of different perspectives.If your not counting people outside of the tackles then Your 5 would be my 7. I would consider a DE or 3-4 OLB to be in the box eventhough they line up outside the tackle.
That's just funny AFI did. Check my Did Geno Eat some Meat thread.
