Who Runs What Style of Defense?

[Verdict]

This is a listing of teams by draft order in the first round. Does anyone know a complete listing of what form of base defense (4-3 front or 3-4 front) each team runs? I know a few but not sure about a lot of the teams since several teams have switched over the past few years.



1 Kansas City Chiefs
2 Jacksonville Jaguars
3 Oakland Raiders
4 Philadelphia Eagles
5 Detroit Lions
6 Cleveland Browns
7 Arizona Cardinals
8 Buffalo Bills
9 New York Jets
10 Tennessee Titans
11 San Diego Chargers
12 Miami Dolphins
13 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
14 Carolina Panthers
15 New Orleans Saints
16 St. Louis Rams
17 Pittsburgh Steelers
18 Dallas Cowboys
19 New York Giants
20 Chicago Bears
21 Cincinnati Bengals
22 Washington Redskins
23 Minnesota Vikings
24 Indianapolis Colts
25 Seattle Seahawks
26 Green Bay Packers
27 Houston Texans
28 Denver Broncos
29 New England Patriots
30 Atlanta Falcons
31 San Francisco 49ers
32 Baltimore Ravens*

Why? Seems a generic enough thread to me. And if you think hard enough, you could make a case this is Cowboys-related.

Besides, it's not like he's battling for forum space right now.

You can Google most of the details.

I'll start with KC. I went to their team website and determined that the Defensive Coordinator is Bob Sutton. I Googled Bob Sutton and found that his preferred defense is a 1-gap 3-4; however, he has experience in a 2-gap 3-4 and in the Tampa-2 style of 4-3.

Next, the Jags site shows Bob Babich as the D-Coordinator. Googling him show that he was a LB coach and DC under Lovie Smith in Chicago. That defense was a Tampa-2 style 4-3.

Oakland Raiders...

Yeah. They hired the DC from the Jets.
