Getting acclimated to watching the 3-4

[Sarge]

Hey...that's a low blow calling me "Chief"

Actually, Chief is like Elvis in my eyes. One of the originals around here.

Winicki and Sarge on the other hand are like...

...as much as I hate to admit it - that one made me laugh out loud.

...which ultimately means.............. I'll get even.

Keep your loins the hell outta here Sally.

Sarge, you are going soft. In the old days you'd have called him a sick freak.

Yea, but with the personnel we drafted, if we lined up Ware, Ellis, Glover and Coleman in a 4-3 front and let Ware get beat up by a LT, then we squander Ware's speed. These players were drafted with a 3-4 in mind so that Ware is most often chipped by a guard, dinged by a fullback or H back and generally matches his exceptional speed against a lesser blocker.

In a 3-4 we have Ellis on the LT and Ellis is good enough to occupy the LT; then Ware comes in and Mistah Jets for Legs causes backfield havoc.

My guess is, though, as Spears and Ferguson come off injured lists, we'll actually see more of the 4-3.

David.

Parcells has COMMITTED to 3-4
We practiced 3-4 primarily
We darfted 3-4
Ferguson is a stout NT
Spears is a 295 pound DE
Ware played OLB all camp

You do the math and it does NOT add up to 4-3.

Sick implies there's room for betterment.

The big test of our 3-4 will be when it is facing a team with a big OL and a RB who can beat you. I like the last 2 games and what I have seen. Pressure on the QB, turnovers, and in all 3 games not many points allowed. We acquired some good talent this off season. This defense might be very special if all the pieces begin to fit right. Doesn't matter which scheme you run, the better the chemistry, the better the results. So far we look pretty good. This is without Spears and Ferguson too. Better days might still be ahead. Isn't that a fun thought?

Finally, we actually can think in these terms..it has been a long time and I am stoked for the very reasons you mention
