From the article

One of the biggest changes was the use of dime personnel on third-and-long. That means six defensive backs, with Jihaad Campbell coming off, Kenny Moore II entering at safety, and Carter II moving to the slot. I liked it. I generally like getting more defensive backs on the field in obvious passing situations, provided they can communicate and play together. Here, the group looked comfortable, and I thought the package worked well until Carter II got injured.

STACKED’s take

Carter II moved to slot in dime package; package worked well until his injury.

Used in dime package on third-and-long situations, moving to the slot with Kenny Moore II entering at safety and Jihaad Campbell coming off. The source liked the package and thought it worked well until Carter II got injured. The source assumes Carter II should have been playing as the single-high safety on one particular coverage, though the assumption cannot be certain. The dime package with more defensive backs on the field in obvious passing situations was effective when the group communicated and played together.
