[QUOTE="Einstein McFly, post: 554197, member: 6663"] Uh, by 2-4 I think you mean nickel. In nickel, you're defending the pass and bring a dlineman off and a defensive back on. On third an long you want your best pass rushing lineman, so probably Daniels and Datone Jones, but you need guys to rotate in. If the other team is mixing it up, you need someone who can hopefully play both the pass and run which Jones, Worthy and probably Thornton are supposed to be able to do. You'll see that over and over again against passing teams like the lions and bears which is why having a good fifth defensive back like Hayward or Hyde is really clutch. A 3-4 base defense is for use against running teams like the vikes, 9ers and seahawks and if they're running the ball over and over again you need to have fresh guys that stuff the run. [B]People seem to forget how many games we lost in the last five minutes last year because we didn't/couldn't stop the run. [/B]Drafting a guy like this who can do that without totally giving up on pass rush is really important. Also, I doubt Gion is going to make this team unless Worthy really falls apart. [/QUOTE]
