See I think that is an NFL mentality and part of our issues. In the NFL a RB or TE split wide can cause a mismatch. Where as having a 3rd or 4th WR going against a 3rd or 4th DB is a wash. However when your TE is Stevens or your RB is Smith or your FB is a walkon, then IMO you are making things easier for the D not harder. And when you have a 3rd or 4th WR going against a 3rd or 4th DB, chances are that 3rd or 4th DB is either a big drop off in ability or young and raw. IMO there is a greater chance of a break down going against bench players, then there is by going against starters. IMO more often than not a 3rd DB on an NFL team is a good player while a 3rd DB on a college team is a 3rd DB because he is not good enough to start. So IMO the greater chance for a mismatch is getting the less talented 3rd DB in there vs trying to cause a mismatch with your less talented TE/RB going against their talented starting LB/S. 
 
IMO Marrone's thinking would work well in the NFL or SEC, but in the BE it is simply over thinking things.
