Schottenheimer: This won't be like the old 3-4 defense here in 2005

So more like the Wade Phillips version.

Right. I don't know why he didn't just use that as a reference point. I think the Phillips 3-4 has been shown to be a very effective defense.

Shotty said that like he was here working under TUNA and Wade or something!!!!

which easily means OSA is too small to play NT as we know, he'll be playing DE story over!!!!! Damn you coog!!!!

Weird how he didn't say there's no such thing as a 34/43 anymore, everything is a hybrid now, and we're always in nickel so base is irrelevant.

..are u saying, cupcake version? . .

Doesn't it feel like the defense is already fixed?

"To be very clear: this 3-4 defense is not the old 2-gap, where you sit there and you're reading blocks. We will be getting vertical and we will be using our hands and shedding."

In the following 2027 season, they will be adding tackling the ball carrier and sacking the quarterback.

well, I liked the way he said it. Much less passive and someone who came off as more of an in-charge guy.

He'll be playing 3-4 defensive end and nickel defensive tackle. There will be times as a 3-4 defensive end that he will be the edge defender and times that he will be inside between the guard and the tackle, depending on alignment.

If you're five-man line looks like this: ROLB/RDE-Quinnen-Clark-Odighizuwa-LOLB-LDE, there will be times that the four "linement" will be the ROLB-Quinnen-Clark-Odig and times it will be Quinnen-Clark-Odig--LOLB. There even may be times when we overload one side and bring an extra linebacker off that side or a safety and drop one of the DL.

We may see the same players out there in the same spots, but the positions will switch based on what four we're rushing. We want to keep teams guessing, but most of the time the three DL will be part of the rush. They just may shift over where Odig is on the tackle's outside shoulder or between the center and guard at times.

It's a process

I thought about starting a thread but instead I'll just put it here.

Schotty on the Rich Eisen Show just said, "Is defense gonna be the only thing we draft? No."
Fwiw.

I'm bookmarking this tweet for the next time someone asks "will Big Q play nose tackle" or whatever.

Just don't let teams boat race us at will and we can call the defense anything & I'd be fine. Lol
