I'd forgotten about the wider NZ. Is it a rule that they are a yard off the ball? When I was in college, Oregon came to town and ran a defense that had the D-line a yard off the ball. I remember reading that their new D-coordinator was from the CFL. In the end I think they gave it up because it was a yard of momentum the offense could get.
