[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 714783, member: 12283"] A few things. 1. The Packers ranked 12th (4.0) in yards allowed per carry and 8th (94.7) in yards allowed per game. They were also tied for 7th (40) in sacks So it isn't as though the front 7 getting dominated was a glaring issue. 2.People want to add an OLB because pass rush is vitally important. If there's a great pass rushing 34DE, then that would be great too. But this EDGE class is pretty good, and this DL class really isn't. 3. If your gripe is with too much sub package, then your issue is really with the entire league and the direction of football-- not just with the Packers. 4. Teams aren't really "shifting back" to a 4-3 base. The league is still roughly split 50/50 between 3-4 and 4-3. It's been that way for a while. There is a shift league wide towards more sub packages as teams throw more and more. 5. You're confused regarding the nature of sub package in 3-4 and 4-3 defenses. A 4-3 might take a LB off the field and shift to a 4-2-5 nickel where they have 4 linemen with their hand on the dirt, 2 interior linemen and 2 edge players. A 3-4 effectively does the same thing when they go to a 2-4-5. They remove one an interior lineman (usually the NT) and bring an extra DB on the field. The OLB's act as edge rushers the same way that the DE's do in a 4-2-5. A guy like Perry actually looks and plays more like a 43DE than a 34OLB. So in both cases, you end up with two interior DL, two edge rushers, two linebackers, and 5 defensive backs. [/QUOTE]
