[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 579265"] It should be noted that the 46 defense got it's name from Doug Plank's jersey number. The defense was so named because Plank would frequently come up into the box as a linebacker in a 3 DB set. That Bears defense smothered the run and dared QBs to throw against a scheme where run blitzes and pass blitzes were nearly indistinguishable. It was one unrelenting jail break after another. Under the current rules that protect QBs and receivers, this defense is untenable today. It is also worth noting that Bears defense had immense talent that made it work, including arguably the best front 7 (or 8 as it were) to have played the game if only for a few short years. [/QUOTE]
