FuzzyLumpkins said:WRONG READ THE QUOTE.
Lets look at it again so you canr read it AGAIN.
There are two reasons why your other scenarios dont work in context of the quote
A) He specifically mentions that he would have to learn more than if he were to play another scheme
B) That he only had to learn one position before
Now in part A Glover clearly is talking about one scheme, the 3-4. Hes saying in the 3-4 im having to learn all the line positions and if we play more schemes Ill have to know even more.
This clearly shows that your examples of the 4-3 nickel and 46 do not apply.
BTW I really wish that you would quit asserting baseless drivel like the 46 garbage. THERE IS NOT ONE SHRED OF PROOF THAT WE WILL RUN THE 46.
But just to make sure Ive brought up point B. Why?
Well before he was saying he only needed to learn one position, 3 technique, and now he is being asked to learn 3.
Didnt we play nickel before? Why yes we did.
What Glover is saying is that beofre all he had to do is learn 3 technique in the 4-3 and now hes having to learn all 3 positions in the 3-4.
Your examples do not meet up to the standards of
A) Not being a position he played before as well as
B) Only applying to one scheme
BTW I would like some proof of Glover not playing DE, anyone other than Ellis being unhappy, Coakley badmouthing the team or us having any intentions of playing some 46.
So since he's played nickel before it does not fit, hmmm?
Your quote from Glover:"I played both positions - end, nose and then we did some variation things with me in the two-technique and the three-technique," Glover said. "We played a lot of different things with it. I prefer the 4-3, obviously. But the defense is different now. You have to be a lot more patient in the 3-4."
So what's he having to learn?
I mean he's PLAYED them all before in New Orleans, which is what you conveniently left out of the quote when you posted it.
If my list doesn't fit his quote, neither does 3-4 end, skippy.
We ran 46 some last year and in 2003, Zimmer was quoted mentioning 46 looks for this year too.
FYI, until we play a game, or it comes straight from Parcells mouth, you don't have a shread of proof that the base defense is going to be 3-4. He has not said it yet, so....
