[QUOTE="wist43, post: 555336, member: 9839"] If we're in an either/or situation, and the offense throws 3 wides out there... I'm okay with jumping to a nickel; but yes, if that is the case then we need to have enough beef up front to deal with that. In Capers "Jumbo 2-4" he had Raji and Pickett at DT - if it's a pass, you're going to get exactly zero pass rush out of Pickett, and Raji had been worn down and demoralized to the point where he wasn't any use as a pass rusher either. So in Capers "Jumbo 2-4" we essentially had a 2 man pass rush if it were a pass. And against the run in that situation, we usually only had 6 guys in the box - unless we walked a safety up, 2 of whom (B. Jones and Hawk)... defeat the 2 "jumbos" inside, and the offense was likely have a lot of running room. As for pass rush - MY GOD!!! The 2-4 is as static as it comes, lol... we know who is rushing on every stinking snap. And while a front of Matthews, Daniels, D. Jones, and Neal is a combo of good pass rushers, there is rarely any threat of inside blitz or zone blitz. Who are you going to blitz?? Hawk or B. Jones?? Might as well send my sister on the blitz. The 3-3 offers infinitely more possibilities in terms of personnel and blitz combinations. Creating mismatches and confusion for the offensive line is exactly one of the reasons we should go to a 3-3 much more often, and get away from the 2-4. You guys are trying to defend an alignment that Green Bay runs more than any other team in the league - to dismal/disasterous results; yet you seem to think there is no alternative?? I find that amazing. [/QUOTE]
