[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 779992, member: 9780"] I always enjoy your insights. Thanks. I don't really see our defense as a 4-3 at all. What I think we are seeing is a similar scheme as before only simplified. With much different personal. Where Capers and Thompson put a huge premium (and cap $) on Olbs. Petinne and Gute put the value into dominant dline... Also. Another fundamental shift was how the secondary was built. Typically Randall/Rollins was our proto type. Under 6', and under 200 pounds, but still only ran 4.5s. CBs who supposedly could stay on their guy, and recover with agility rather than speed...... gag........ Now we have 6'1, 6'2", even king stud at 6'3" running 4.4 40s and wingspan that shuts out half the dang field... almost. :) that's what we need. A stop rather than this bend but don't break strategy... This is a matter of fielding your best players. And now that those guys include big mo dog instead of peppers. A secondary who can tackle, as well as man up on big wrs. That's where the pressure will come from now, imo. Dline Power... 320 de against 320 OT. And such. Instead of 260 olb against 320 OT. Quit depending on finesse and speed, and come with the bruisers to do what they do... Same is said about the 6'3", 6'4", 6'5" wrs running sub 4.4s.... who's idea was it to cover these guys with finesse? Lol. Burress should have taught us this lesson a decade + ago.... you need to be able to stop those super freak wrs without selling out the whole defense...... I see much more 3-3-5 nickel formations. With tweener backers in place for a "dime". There is a reason the LB coach and Mathews have both had their moments of public displeasure... because they have 2 olbs making 25 mil, and other than those two, the LB positions are being largely looked past. Martinez in the middle is hard to bench for a tweener. Makes Mathews expendable imo. Because weather we drop a olb or ilb to bring in a dime, it doesn't really make a huge difference. Because the bulk of the pass rush is already determined by the 4 studs up front. Perry is included in this group. Mathews or Martinez are only coming when a big dog goes out , or a designed blitz. Right now Martinez is a tackling machine.... [/QUOTE]
