Both are substution packages to deal with the opposing offense using multiple wide receiver packages. In order to cover the extra wide receivers with out having a big mismatch, the defense drops linebackers and replaces them with extra DB's. A defensive line still needs to get a good pass rush on the ball, because given time, most NFL qb's will be able to find an open man eventually.
Excellent and to the point explanation..
