Aren't the Pats a 2 gap?

I think it would depend on coverage calls, but I wouldn't think the OLB's would have anything other than maybe swing pass-type responsibilities unless it was some sort of zone blitz. ILB's probably would have more in the short crossing type lanes.

Yes, but only because they managed to get the personnel for it early on. Washington and then Wilfork, Seymour, Warren, etc. KC has Jackson but Dorsey would not dominate as a two-gapper and neither Tank or Edwards are good enough to play head-up over the center.

Yeah, Haley indicated that he wanted Jackson on the weak-side.
I've seen no detailed outline of 'our' defense; I did see the details of the 4-3 under defense that USC runs, and I found it helpful in understanding how it would translate to a 30 front with our personnel if that's what you're referring to...dunno. I am just thinking out loud here, and basing it on the Pioli/Haley interviews with a little common sense thrown in. (i.e.-of course Hali is not going to be covering RB's downfield, that'd be dumb! so what WOULD he be suitable for?)etc. |

Nice post. I think I get it.
Though I'd be pulling my guards and running left a lot.

Right, so what Meck is describing is not like the 4-3 under. In the 4-3 under, the RDE is lined up outside the LOT. Meck is describing a system where Jackson would be in the B gap between the guard and tackle.

Pats play a 2 gap, Dallas plays basically a one gap, if I remember correctly...as does Arizona basically, in their hybrid-which I think works pretty much like my outline.
again, I could be wrong, this is just what I think they're talking about doing. |

Outstanding post. Wish I knew enough to contribute to this discussion, but it's over my head. But it sounds good to me.

I have no idea what KC is going to run. If Dallas plays a 1 gap scheme, and you think KC is going to play a similar scheme, why did Zach Thomas talk about getting away from Dallas' scheme where he wasn't that comfortable.

well, I think it's helpful (maybe even crucial) to stop thinking of people as a position (as in Glenn Dorsey is a DT, and DT=NT or Tamba Hali is a DE, and not suited to be a LB) and think in terms of what they will be asked to DO, since the 3-4 is SO different than the 4-3, and this particular 3-4 is even more so. We're not used to it, since we haven't run it since...when? Cowher? With Saleamua at NT maybe? I forget.

I think that Zach was playing the other LB spot, with different responsibilities. I think in THIS hybrid, that spot would look almost exactly like a MLB spot in a 4-3, in that you'd be looking at the center basically uncovered when you line up. Hence, his comments about getting back to playing MLB. again, this is all just my theory. |
