Three Two Six

That is an example I wish I had thought of...because that's exactly what I'm talking about. Decent sack output from all 4 defensive lineman will trump 1 wardaddy all day, every day.

right, we should have 2 war daddies.

 

[AsthmaField]

there is no disagreement that you need pressure from more than 1 player.
jaylon and watt could have been 2.

Jaylon and Taco can be two.

I want a ruthless style defense where a qb fears every play cause he thinks it'll be his last, as man who can walk upright. I like simultaneous hits on the qb, once lie at the ankles and one coming from the opposite direction a little higher, but still within legal parameters.

Like the hurt we put on Jim Kelly in the superbowl

Get a little high low action....this hits ad up

Amen...hurt wins!

 

[haleyrules]

I prefer the 6-2-3.

Yep. Bring back a version of ole fat Ryans punishing 46...pain and intimidation win. Never mind puny, scrawny CB's....bring the heat.

hopefully, though i think i would be more confident with watt as a blitzing LB than taco as a DE for applying pressure.
especially in the 1st year.
in fact, that is probably an easier place to add pressure players than the DE given our draft position.

Most any formation will work as long as we have playmakers. We may a good group this year.

Go Cowboys!

Interesting. Those knee surgeries leave me cold in regards to Watt and thats not meant in a bad way. I liked his talent...not the knees. Charlton is a safer bet?

i like the 46 even though we all hate ryan.
much easier to get blitzing LBs.

i am with you here.
knees are an issue.
though did his knee problems 'go away' after switching to LB?

There's a reason you don't see the "46" anymore, and that's because sophisticated passing offenses using short drops eat it alive.

The real problem with the 46 today...is the majority of clubs simply don't have the talent to run it effectively. Those Chicago clubs were loaded defensively. I mean basically its an agressive 8 man front. Very risky in todays protect the QB era.

There's merit to what you posted... It was an amazing collection of talent.

I think the Bears could have run a number of schemes and still would have been dominant.

In the playoffs, for the most part, the QBs are very good and you have to get after them and get pressure.

That's not going to happen with 6 DBs. Even the best DBs can only cover for so long.

Against an Aaron Rodgers, you could have 7 DBs. But if you give him enough time to eat a sandwich back there, you're done.

And l hate to say this...but Ryan was very talented and a great motivator that understood intimidation and how to hide his intentions. He was no schmuck. He was the driving force behind the success of that scheme. Now l must go yhe wash my mouth out.

I like the buddy Ryan 46 defense. Bring the pain and limit the gain

Sure. The Prevent only prevents you from winning. It chicken poop and leads to defeat.

if we had 2 good blitzing LBs, we can do a lot already.
the problem with the 4-3 is that you need lots of good DL.
that gets expensive $ wise and draft wise.

Ha! Nice.

The 85 bears played 16 games and KO'd the starting qb 11 times. Ouch ouch ouch
