[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 554741, member: 4199"] Because I dispute the fact we are setup to run a 3-3 or 4-2 or any other alignment that trots out more linemen at the expense of traditional linebackers and/or moving Matthews from his normal spot is an improvement. Lets harp on your plan. 1) Pre-Peppers, we one guy on the roster who looks the part of traditional, hand in the dirt, pass rushing end: Perry. Our linemen are tackles. Ignore that they are called "ends." Anyone else on the roster needs to play 5 technique and "lower." Neal was a pleasant surprise, but he struggled a little bit playing outside for the first time. I suspect he would have had a harder time playing contain and maintaining outside leverage if he had his head down and not looking for the ball. 2) You haven't explained who will play coverage in your preferred nickel alignments. Can we do better than Hawk/Jones? Almost certainly. Tell me who, on our roster, can do their job in coverage better than them. I can't think of someone. Matthews might, again, he's not rushing. Why is that better? The notion that we need to get our best players on the field is a good one, but you've gone overboard to the point of failure. You need to be schematically sound. Six designated pass rushers on the field at the same time sounds great and would probably work in Madden, but not real football. There are run fits, flowing to the ball, playing man to man, getting depth in zone drops, and actually making plays on the ball when its in the air. Your alignments and groupings making those things worse and don't necessarily improve anything. Should we trot out Rodgers on defense because he's our best player? No, of course not. What you are suggesting is not unlike that. [/QUOTE]
