Ohh we agree then. I was only concerned with ILB's and the MLB. My idea of backing them up is to allow them to get them to run downhill quickly though. Right now they don't run downhill. They just sorta take a step and stand there to wait to see what's happening. By backing them up they can keep moving instead of stopping and waiting.
Gotcha, I thought you meant that you wanted all LB at 5 yards deep.
At the very least manually controling the MIKE should be easier with a little more room to operate.
