The roster officially designates positions for some players as "EDGE".

Back in the day, I think we called them Tweeners.  That usually applied to both size and speed and was largely a function of our limited recruiting pool.  

I'm not sure this is such a big change.  I seem to recall a lot of situations over the last few seasons where we only had 2 DL on the field, flanked by edge guys who were essentially undersized for DL and slightly too slow for pass coverage.
