Rush 2112 said:Nickel DL has been Ellis Carson Glover Ware
Makes a lot of sense to me. Get our 3 best pass rushers in Ellis, Glover, Ware plus a vet who's good vs draws, screens, mis-direction stuff. Eventually I'd expect to see Spears or Canty in Carson's spot maybe next year.
Nors said:Canty, Spears, Ferguson can implode the pocket. Don't understimate that. Ware, Glover and Ellis will get their reps there.
You know what, I totally agree with you there.Nors said:Canty, Spears, Ferguson can implode the pocket. Don't understimate that. Ware, Glover and Ellis will get their reps there.

3-4 is installed. I'm laughing at all this "nickel" talk. Being lost is the 3rd and long. Thats all 3-4.
75 -25% 3-4 MOVE ON ITS OVER! HOWARD TRADE IS DEAD!
Is this your first and last 3-4 thread!
junk said:I'll readily admit that 3-4 is going to the base and get the bulk of the reps, but this just confuses me.
Why go 3-4 in third and long? A 3 man front maybe, but not 3-4.

Nors said:Wrong - 3rd and long is vastly a 3-4 "prevent" defense. We used that a lot last year in 3rd and longs actually....
I'm thinking 3-3-5. I don't think he wants to handicap his DL by taking the Big Boys off the field.junk said:I would expect nickel and dime in 3rd and long. 4-2-5, maybe 3-3-5, 4-1-6, etc.
3rd and 5? 3-4 wouldn't surprise me
3 and 10 or greater? It would be silly to not put more defensive backs in otherwise you are going to have matchup problems when teams go 4 wide.
Obvious passing downs? A three man front wouldn't surprise me, but thats not a 3-4.
I think some people are letting their agenda get in the way of sound football judgement.
MichaelWinicki said:Wrong Nors. Zimmer and Parcells have both said the "nickel" will be on the field at least 50% of the time and that it is a 4-2-5 with 4 defensive lineman.
So bring it baby!![]()
junk said:I'd check that game tape. There may have been 3 lineman, I don't think there were 4 linebackers. That is what makes a 3-4, you know.
