3/4 v 4/3

[ericr0319]

can someone clear this up for me? are we supposed to do a hybrid of what scheme works best play-by-play, or are we leaning to one system over the other?

With the selection of Brian Burns, I gotta believe we are primarily going to be a 3-4 defense.

thats what I think. I would like to just have one scheme moving forward regardless.

This. I think the Burns pick says a lot. Pretty prototypical 3-4 OLB.

Maybe someone with a premium subscription to PFF can find the exact numbers, but it wouldn't shock me if we spent more time in Nickel defense last season than 4-3.

Pretty much everyone does in the modern NFL.

due to us goint 4-3 for so long I do not pay attention to much 3-4 defense. whats the prototypical 3 down linemen in this scheme, is Poe our NT and does KK fit an edge?

Carolina is one of the few teams that plays base around 50% of the time. I know in 2017 it was 50%. Don't have numbers for 2018 though.

Poe as NT, KK as end. Other end is more question mark. Maybe Cox Jr.

Kk would be an end. Poe is nose. Irvin, Addison, Burns are OLB. Shaq is in the middle with Luke.

yeah I guess we can experiment with some of our DEs that have been floating. just wonder how Luke would do in this system. Maybe he wont feel the need to play at 120% and risk so much injury.

i love the thought of those three rotating to stay fresh. could even put 1 down linemen from time to time

I think part of that is also us being trash at nickelback.

So it is easier to figure out and more predictable??? Gee maybe we shift things around to make sure our opponents can't do the same thing.
