Thread after thread debates about if they need to go to a base 3-4 or 4-3 look. McCarthy was right when he said at his opening PC the league is 80% nickel which is 4-2-5. There’s different ways you can make the 4-2-5 look with a 2-point stance, 3-point stance or amoeba defense like Jets and Patriots did in the 2000s.
But no team is going to base it’s identity off a pure 4-3 or 3-4 anymore. It only matters for 10-15% of snaps. Against heavy run teams like Ravens and 49ers defenses scheme up 5-2 looks for that week.
