I'm guessing January 19th around ohhh... 10:04!When the hell did you start posting again?....Bo wants to have enough versatility to be able to call any defensive formation at anytime and have success!!! Nuff said, let's move on!
In 34 defenses OLBs are generally the pass rushers. I think those talking heads just didn't really know what they were talking about.To hear the talking heads in DFW tell it (1310 Ticket), Dallas was using a bastardized version of the 4-3 as their base defense in years past because they didn't have the personnel to run a 'true' or 'pure' 3-4 effectively. It may have been called a 3-4, but they were supposedly putting LBs on the line to pass rush so often (because the DL were so poor), they as well been granted honorary DL status.
Granted, I'm not much of a Dallas or NFL fan (like Green Bay, only watch NFL to watch how Nebraska kids do...though I whiffed on one of our former players in a past thread), so you likely know more their defensive history.
Whaley makes you excited? Whaley makes it hard for me to fall asleep at night without the light on.
Well...yaaa....I agree. I'm hoping that having more LB's on the field will allow him to have to cover less and improve his play.
I'm guessing we will see Stein on the inside to begin with but they could move him outside and use a line of Cam - Peat - Stein. I'm actually kind of excited about some of the things they can do with a 3-4. Its just going to be disorganized at first. I think we will see a lot of Eric martin as a standup OLB as well. I think that could be effective. I will be most interested to see what they do with their nickel package. Will they move to like a 3-2-6 with maybe compton and anderson/santos as Lb's and bring in Evans and maybe C. Cooper or H. Jackson as an extra DB?
Right. I'm aware of that. Typically, though, you mix up or mask who you send for pass rush to keep the O-Line guessing and to try and get favorable matches.In 34 defenses OLBs are generally the pass rushers.

i hate this whole "lets not put it on film" BS that they seem to do each year. that just translates to "not game tested". we don't have a preseason - these 4 games are how you get ready for michigan. this is when we should have been working on it...and by the time michigan roles around we'd be ready to say "we're playing 3-4, try to f'n run at us because you'll find your a$$ on the turf in the backfield" instead we say "we've got a new defensive scheme they won't see coming, lets hope the guys can execute it"
