Off Topic, sort of - Personnel Terminology question

I was thumbing through YouTube and found myself watching 1999 Clemson thursday night game (thanks to hokietapes). The ESPN graphics of the starting lineups displayed our FL (flankers) and SE (split ends). I remember hearing this terminology used in reference to Eddie Royal's class back in '04, but I haven't heard SE and FL used here lately. Were these VT positions (like whip, rover, mike, backer)? Do we have flankers and split ends today? Do they only apply to certain formations? I can look up the positions, but wonder if some of the gurus have some insight from a VT perspective. Thanks! Go Hokies.
