[QUOTE="Bertram, post: 196486, member: 817"] [b]Re: Predicting the '08 draft[/b] Well I think this says it all about your knowledge about the position. Also you say we don't run a very different scheme than other teams, I can only quote our defensive coordinator Sanders: There is a lot of technique involved at the DT position and it's not only strength that makes it hard for a rookie DT to make a splash. The Packers run a hybrid two-gap scheme which requires a lot from our DTs, they are called upon to read multiple gaps. Our ends read one gap and our DTs read two gaps, while our LBs are expected to take care of the runningback. In this scheme we need big stout linesmen that can cover multiple gaps, like Harrell (I for one can't understand why some reporters call him a three-technique tackle, which is a 1-gap player whos job is to run through his gap and disrupt the offense in the backfield). From experience in Miami, this scheme is ******* its DTs and they will pick up injuries as the season wears and tears. So it's important to have depth, it was probably no coincidence that we picked a DT with our #1 pick. The beauty of this scheme is that if you can clog up the middle and pressure the QB on passing downs, it is very hard to figure out and stop for opposing teams because it doesn't consist of different blitzing schemes which opponents usually figure out after a while. Sanders learned this scheme from Bates, who had success with it in Miami, Bates learned it while coaching in Dallas. Dallas won 3 Superbowls with this scheme. [/QUOTE]
