Star and KK getting reps at DE

[PandaPancake]

God I hope you're right.

He sounds so positive I think he is.

Makes for an interesting read, at least.

Ryan had very good personnel in Philadelphia and Houston. But the 46 gradually fell out of favor as teams began to exploit its primary weakness – an undermanned secondary. If you protected well enough or had a quarterback with a quick, accurate release – or both – you could get rid of the ball before the pressure got to the pocket. West Coast offenses and premier quarterbacks strafed the 46 with big plays. Even in its best seasons, the Bear 46 was giving up very high yards-per-completion numbers. The big plays eventually sank the scheme as a base defense.

Man, why you have to make me watch Sunday to see what they do?

As long as we get Fua back so he can clog up the middle I don't care...

 

Forever Useless at Anything

I don't think we'll be changing our base defense, but we'll probably increase the number of looks we put out there.

 

We've gotten too predictable, and our personnel can't do what we want any more, so we have to mix it up a bit. If it's one thing I know RR can do, it's put together a defense. Here's hoping the adjustments work.

These are emergency reps, they're not planning to actually play KK or Star at DE unless injury forces them to.

That's what I call setting the edge

[DaCityKats]

when KK lined up at a 5 tech at Purdue, he was not that successful. he did not win from out there, and should stay at a 3/2/ or a 1.maybe he will be at a 6  or 7 but still, can he win from that far out? going vs some very athletic guys compared to the OGs and Cs he face. i will wait and see what occurs, but I'm not to fond of putting a guy in a position that he will not be successful in.

The thing is we are not trying to switch him to DE for good. We just have a problem stopping the run now that hardy is not in. If you remember Hardy had problem at that in his early years but he beefed up an got stronger. I think we have some small DEs that are getting pushed back on the edge causing run gaps. We are trying what i was thinking weeks ago, put kk at DE on run downs and addission on pass downs, it might help us stop the run again.

what is this i dont even

if that occurs, teams will not run to his side, or just audible to a passing play. teams will adjust after the first couple of times they see that occurring. plus it wasn't the strength that made him not effective as a 5, but more so athleticism.

I guess the nascar package has morphed into the monster truck package

[Montsta]

Think of Everette Brown on his worst day.

That's what I expect to see from Jason Williams at DE.

I like him as a linebacker and special teamer, but DE is all bad.
