3-4 will kill us


lightsout

Recommended Posts

I've always been a 3-4 skeptic but today further cemented my belief. It's far too susceptible to the run, particularly up the middle. On top of that, the benefit of a 3-4 is better pass defense with more ways to bring pressure and only 3 down on the line, so an added defender covering underneath if you opt to rush three and drop 8. 

 

What we saw today was that without the refs calling holds, we get gashed on the ground. And we're letting guys open similar to last season. Meanwhile, our receivers are consistently blanketed.

Everybody got excited for this new look d, but aside from better pressure, I'm not seeing anything good.

What does 3-4 have to do with our OL? Because right now, OL is looking like our Achilles heel.

 

Oh I know but that's been stated. Haven't seen much about the reality of our D because the glaring offensive issues so far and Burns being a stud

The problem is Ron. 4-3 last year the players were too undisciplined to main gap control. Its one common denominator here. Does Ron even coach in TC? It seems his coordinators and assistants does everything which is why the performance suck on game-day. With Washington coaching we've already lost.

The first year in a new scheme for any team is always shaky.  No different for us.  We probably won't get a good read on our D until mid season.  I expect they'll have good games and terrible games this year.  A lot will depend on injuries as we are pretty thin everywhere but D line and OLB.  The hope was (is?) that the offense can carry us a bit.  That's becoming questionable with the potential injury to Cam and the performance of our O line.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
