Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - 4-2-5 In the NFL

Since we haven't had much to talk about on the warpath with the lockout, I was thinking the other day Why doesn't any of the teams in the NFL play a 4-2-5 base defense?

I don't get it, with teams playing more spread, and Safeties becoming more like LB's, why don't teams in the NFL use it?

I keep hearing that it isn't good against the run, but every time I see this defense play against the run it is no different than a 3-4 or 4-3 defense in terms of yards allowed.

Then I also thought, what if the skins had used this defense with a DL of Orakpo Haynesworth Gholston Carter (or even Kerrigan)

LB's of Rocky and Fletch

and Safeties LaRon Horton and Moore (or OJ)...
