[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 862583"] Actually, no. We've been over this numerous times before. The plan was to use Z inside for a lot of snaps, 3 "OLBs" on the field, so to speak. Pettine in fact did that, more as the season wore on. Consider the season snap counts: Z - 84% P - 84% Fackrell - 40% Gary - 23% That totals 231% which means, on average, there were 3 of them on the field for 31% of the snaps. There were a few snaps with all 4. It's evident that the question is development, not redundancy. With Fackrell probably heading out in free agency, there's 63% snaps right there on the table for Gary if he can earn them. Further, with Gary's development, there's no reason for Z's and P's snap counts to be that high if you want to keep them fresh throughout games and the season. These guys were gassed in the latter parts of the SF game. You'd like to avoid that. Even earlier in the season there is reason to believe injuries were being faked to get a free time out and a blow. If Gary realizes his potential, that could mean more 3 OLB sets and surely more rest snaps for Z and P. An 80% snap count for each of the 3 hardly budges the OLB snap count from this past season. How soon we forget the way Matthews-Perry-Peppers were used when all were healthy, which of course was not very often. These hybrid 3-4 defenses are becoming increasingly common, by the way, not just a Capers/Pettine commonality, dependent on having the right horses. [/QUOTE]
