screw this 3-4 crap

[Billy Bullocks]

I think we will end up playing in the 4-3 for the most part this year...

ya, like I said. 50 50. Plus our nickel packages. 3-4 will be out there 25-35%

I've been saying all off season we go to San Deigo and come out in a 4-3.

Like that has never happened before.

I did miss hear it, but Mick said 4 man front in the base not nickel, that is a big difference. So if we have 4 man on the DL and Ware is one of 3 LBs what is it?

And this does not change the fact that Ware did play OLB when we were in the 4-3 short yardage against AZ. Look at the line up on 4th in 1 in the first quarter.

Look, I'm not trying to argue with. What I'm trying to say is even in a base defense with 4 down lineman, if Singleton rushes from the weakside, Ware is automatically the OLB. He then has to drop into coverage. It just a formation to confuse the offense. BP has already stated that the 4 man front shouldn't be considered the 4-3, because the use 3-4 techniques.

I could see BP using a 3-4 and on pre-snap lining up both olb'rs on the line. Then in pre-snap I could see them adjust the formation and Ware putting his hand down on the ground and the other olb backing up in to a 4 3 alignment.
This way, we are so versatile you don't know how we're coming or where we're coming from. In a blink of an eye, we could go from a 4-3 formation straight into a 3-4 alignment simply because of Ware and his ability to put a hand down, or back into coverage.
Ware is the single most important part of this entire thing. (PRAY HE STAYS HEALTHY)

nice sig.

As for you thinking we didn't have an OLB with high sack totals because we didn't have one who could rush the passer

Apparently, neither does any other NFL team. Here's the top 30 sack-artists from 2004 regular season. How many 4-3 OLBs do you see?

And just where was anyone saying playing him exclusively at OLB in a 4-3?

A lot of research for absolutely no reason.

 

[Big Country]

Well we're going to be using a 4-2-5 a lot and a 4-1-6 some.

We're using a 4... 2... 5... isn't that a ... wait a minute... 1 2 3.. recount... mmmph... 5 plus 6... I mean 4 with a 1 and a 2 and a... just a second let me get my shoe off... one two ... oh !@#$#$% never mind...
