[QUOTE="milani, post: 982384, member: 6654"] About 20 years ago on the open NFL boards I was asked by frustrated Bear fans why their defense struggled with Favre and the Packer offense. They could not get pressure on him enough but had to play more in the box to counter our running game and offensive line. When I saw Urlacher as a rookie my first thought was put this guy in a 3-4 and send him. He is just short of Ray Lewis. Instead they have him trying to plug every hole and go sideline to sideline. When Lovie got there he built a very vanilla cover 2 with a 4-3. They did not fool anyone but they made it work. When we drafted AJ Hawk from OSU I said he would be perfect in a 3-4. But he never became the disruptive force we hoped he would be even though he rarely missed a game. I still believe the foundation of the defense is controlling the line of scrimmage. That means stopping the run first then getting to the QB. [/QUOTE]
