Nice article.  Has a very nice assessment of why our base 3-4 isn't typical.  We can surprise 4 man rush.  

It's not always from the same 4 guys when the OL is facing 6 with two standing on the edge.  

And factoring how athletic they all are, the types we've targeted makes total sense.

Yeah I don't quite get why our defense hasn't been used before.  You can literally line up the same formation every play and rush only 4 every down and it constantly come from different directions.  I don't see how an oline can defend it at all.  I like how there is a name for it, it's not a new concept, but yet I've seen so many articles and videos dissecting our defense.  The Broncos have a great defense and are #1 in points allowed per game right now, but there are no videos out there doing deep dives on what makes them tick.

All in all, whatever it is, this defense is special, and smart people are realizing it.

Idk, I feel like it's making the front less big and more athletic, everyone can move, even the interior, BUT I think maybe it takes a special kind of athlete to be that type of lineman.

I don't understand how the article says this defensive philosophy leaves us in trouble if we can't get the pressure. I'm not sure that's any different than most other philosophies. I mean, we only rush 4 guys most of the time. It's not like we send all 6 or 7. They are just there to confuse and cause hesitation.....if for only a second.

      Austin Corbett's move to center has seemed "inevitable"

      Very good points.  I also think you reach an age where your enthusiasm wanes, you quit learning and start relying on experience, and you lose touch with the younger generations of players--it happens.  And you are right about Bryce.  He is frustrated and he took a ton of heat--I can't imagine where he was mentally, but I have some idea.   Bryce is very smart-he needs to beat teams with his mind more than his arm.  He could not play chess when everyone around him was a confused pawn.  This season, he will use more motion to tip coverages and he will use more pre-snap reads.  Than means he should not be breaking the huddle with 12 seconds on the play clock and rushing to get the play off--there are so many things that can impact a QB's play, and there are many signs that he was provided the least possible chance to succeed.  In my view, this is his rookie season.  Last year was a fire drill.

      I also find it curious we decided to practice at home instead of up in NY… not sure I would have made that decision. Need a feel for the ice and boards. Maybe we’ll do a very limited morning skate tomorrow.

      Bryce Young vs Caleb Williams

      It really was crazy. The NFL hype on him was nuts. And I think for our FO, we basically outsmarted ourselves. Some of that has to do with Tepper going against the grain and wanting show how much of a genius he is. Stroud should have been the guy. I thought it might end up being an NFL horror story of sending an undersized kid to get crushed as first overall. I'll give him this though he is tough as nails.  This season will give us a better measure of where he's at, I think. I was hoping he'd come back a little bigger muscle wise though.
