What are you talking about? 

Defenses don't "declare" like that?

A defense has to choose to use a normal package or a nickle or dime package. 

A defense has to choose to drop S's back or put them in the box. 

A defense has to choose to be base aligned or spread out and man align. 

As for oline, this is much more simpler. Straight ahead body on body, no pulling etc less defenders to worry about. 

Sorry, but not buying these excuses. 

Football is football. 

Lmfao cover 3,  cover 1 robber, cover 3 fire, cover two CB dog, and I could go on. All of these formations/plays give you the advantage of being able to mask coverage. Actually it's why Dom Capers zone blitz scheme was so frustrating. You couldn't just put a hat on a hat. It's why you can't just run a QB out there with two audibles and it work. Good offenseses get the defense off balance and take advantage of a poor play call and vice a versa. Not just change the base call.

We are talking about two different things. 

Yes a D can mask their coverage ie zone/man/bitlz.

A D can not mask whether they are in nickle or base package (unless you are trying to claim players switch jerseys or some magic is going on)

A D can not mask how many players are in the box, unless you are trying to claim teams have discovered invisible super power and cloning image technique. 

A D can not mask whether they are base aligned or man aligned. 

A D can not mask whether they are playing press or not.

There are many things a D simply can not hide or mask.

Serious question ... why isn't Samuel a 'deep threat' receiver?  His 40 time was better than TY Hilton's and only 0.03 seconds slower than Ted Ginn's.  Surely he can catch 'as well' as Ginn?  Is it just a matter of establishing his credentials with a few deep completions?

Also, what happened to the 2015 Cam that would hard count the defense one or two times per game and audible out of  plays if the defense had an obvious tell.  I mean if I can see the that the safety is going to blitz from my living room couch with 10 seconds before the snap why can't Cam?  It's almost like he is refusing to change the play call to spite Shula.  Of course that's on those rare occasions when we don't snap the ball in the last 2 seconds on the play clock (and I think I just  answered my own question).

Because Shula doesn't want to use him in such capacity. 

Shula prefers to send Funch and KB deep. 

Outside of KB, Funch, and TE we don't really use much other receivers. 

Excluding CMC out of the back field.

You do realize not even the Packers with rodgers or the Pats with Brady do this? Defenses at least good ones audible or mask there coverage. You might have two audibles you use but thats it. It's why good OCs are hard to find because if it was as easy as just having a QB audible a OC wouldn't be important. Play call choices are the life blood of any coordinator and how successful you are at that is the difference between Jeff Davidson and Shaun Payton. 

we're not talking about coverage we are talking about personnel.

straight line speed doesn't make someone a deep threat on it's own

Originally it was about coverage and matching a play to the defense. If we're talking personnel well that's play calling and just having talent. Like how the Cowboys ran all over the NFL two years ago because there line was superb. This team doesn't have the talent to run power football even if teams were not stacking the box. It's a spread offense skill set with Oline being better at pass blocks than run. We'll unless your Matt Kalil and then you suck at both. The Panthers have talent it's just being used in a square peg round hole situation.

the quote you quoted which I quoted you, was always about personnel, before a coverage is even shown. i could insert some jerk comment like, "you do realize..." but it's obvious you dont.

This topic was about a system not personnel. Quite frankly your rashional is even more inadequate then. It's not simply as easy as saying hey let's line up our 5 WRs against there 4-3 base. You can't audible to 5 WRs either. Like I said this isn't madden.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
