The play that BK is suggesting has to do with the 3-man mechanics. I think in 3-man the mechanic becomes a little more difficult for L because the play would be out of L's primary, but isn't L is still responsible for the entire endline OOB? If so, then I can see BKs point. While L strong side, I'm concentrating on the post matchup because that is my primary. What happens when the player in the corner steps on the endline? As I understand the mechanic, L is not supposed to go that wide on 3-man.

There are many times (both in 2-man and 3-man) when the ball comes from an area out of your primary and goes OOB on your line. This is no different.
You have to get a postion to cover both your lines and your primary.
