"Sounds like Hatcher."
"I have been told different. I have always viewed Hatcher as the 3 so we will see when we get to OTAs."
"They have him playing at LDE."
"Crawford is going to play DE and maybe some 1. Albright going to work at all positions."
If you read his tweets enough it becomes clear. But obviously when he says he's been told and uses phrases like "sounds like" that is not his opinion, that is something he has heard from sources.
SMCowboy;5081891 said:The wide bodied 1 tech? You do realize that in Monte Kiffen's system, there is no such thing as a big bodied 1 tech? There isn't even a set guy to play the 1 tech. While most of the time it was Booger McFarland in Tampa, at times even Warren Sapp lined up as the 1 tech, with McFarland as the 3, based on the alignment. And even Anthony "Booger" McFarland was all of 6'0" 300 lbs at most....
Then look at the Bears, where Rod Marinelli came from. Find the big bodied 1 tech there. Here is a hint, you won't, he didn't exist.

TheSport78;5082039 said:His injury past, height, and I don't think he has enough anchor to take on double teams from interior OL. Just my opinion.
RoyTheHammer;5082047 said:If he can anchor and take on double teams with a 3 man DL, im pretty sure he'll be ok in a 43 with 4 DL'men who are attacking the play.
He's been our best pass rushing lineman for a couple years now, i don't expect that to suddenly change.
Little Jr;5082062 said:People do realize the 1 tech is not a nt like the 34. Theyren not gonna double team the 1 every play. If they do that would be great since that leaves ware, rat and spencer 1 on 1. This d is built to get up field not to read and react. Marinelli(sp?) Said they play the pass 1st. Play the pass 2nd then they play the run.
stasheroo;5081551 said:Agreed.
I worry about consistantly stopping the run with this group.
To say nothing of the depth and injury issues.
Still amazed that they didn't think enough of it to draft for it.
Rack Bauer;5082030 said:I still think Ratliff at 1 and Hatcher at 3 is the better combo. I don't see Hatcher handling double teams inside.
TheRomoSexual;5082015 said:I don't think you understand the responsibilities of the 1-tech in a Tampa-2 scheme.
Wood;5082201 said:I know enough that to be effective with it - Tampa used two anchoring DT who could also penetrate. Offenses will run thru Dallas interior which also means more unnecessary punishment for Sean Lee as Guards will be getting to second level fairly easy.
The more I listen to reports the more I realize Dallas wasn't ready for the switch to 4-3. The draft could have helped things but Dallas didn't even make an attempt. They have become a reactionary team and only address things when it cost them games/seasons.
TheSport78;5081546 said:DL will be a problem.
hra8700;5081539 said:After Jerry Jones said multiple times that Ratliff will be the 3 technique, I was wondering what would happen to Hatcher. Would he just play limited snaps as backup 3? Would he play the 1?
Well, Broaddus just confirmed from his sources that Ratliff will play 3, Hatcher will play 1, Crawford will play SDE (with some 1 tech), Lissemore also probably the 1.
So my guess based on previous snap counts will be something like this:
Open DE: 85-90% Ware, 10-15% Wilber
3 tech: 70% Ratliff, 30% Hatcher
1 tech: 40% Hatcher, 60% Lissemore/Crawford
Strong DE: 85-90% Spencer, 10-15% Crawford
Also possible that Wilber will not get any snaps and that Spencer will backup Ware as the open end.

“@Army_MP_Cowboy: @BryanBroaddus what's the new plan for 1 Tech with release of Price today? Lissemore and who?" Sounds like Hatcher.
Jason Ramirez ‏@BigBackJay 14h
@BryanBroaddus @Army_MP_Cowboy so Ratliff can play NT but not 1 tech? I think he'll be 1 and Hatcher will be 3
Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 13h
@BigBackJay I have been told different. I have always viewed Hatcher as the 3 so we will see when we get to OTAs.
william hopkins ‏@irish5cowboy 11h
@BryanBroaddus what's crawfords weight nowadays?I know as a 3-4 d,end they said his weight had to go up & I wondered if he was close nweight
Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 11h
@irish5cowboy he is over 300 pounds. They have him playing at LDE.

@gmoneythomas I need to see about Price. Crawford is going to play DE and maybe some 1. Albright going to work at all positions.
He played some TE in training camp also.dogberry;5081783 said:Will Albright be backing up all front seven positions, or will they give him a chance at CB and S? He did have a nice 10 yd time.

Statistical analysis after statistical analysis has shown that having a good running game does NOT contribute winning in the NFL. How can people continue to ignore this?TheSport78;5081601 said:Tell that to the 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings, Texans, Skins, Bucs, etc!
