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.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By strato · Posted

      Oh yeah the QB is huge in this stuff. Imagine what Smitty could have done with a surgeon back there. And some more offensive minded head coaches. It was always run heavy. He was one of the best I ever saw and people didn’t know who he was outside of Carolina, for the longest time.

      Front office/scouting staff changes

      For sure, any college scout that touted Bryce Young as worth the first overall pick, needs to be gone. I don’t think the college scouts are so much the issue, I think it is the minds of the decision makers that have the most influence.  If this draft produces, and Morgan was really in charge, maybe Tepper will develop some respect and stay back and let people work.

      Every Xavier Legette target 2023

      I just am not aware of regimens that offer increased velocity which is the biggest weakness I can see in Young (that needs addressing right now). Is it possible to do? Who has done it that we can see as an example? I guess I am saying before I believe weights will give him added zip on the ball, I would want proof that it works.    I think weight room would help him not be pulled down by two fingers, even if they are big strong DL fingers. They are still fingers controlling 185 lbs. So that needs to be addressed but it is a secondary issue behind his footwork and ball velocity. It might help too, in allowing him to retain some velocity while not putting 100% effort into throws. Which should help his ‘deep’ ball.  I agree they can’t fix his footwork on those pistol or gun snaps where he slowly goes backwards and does the tippy toe thing.  Maybe putting him under center and taking the option of that type of drop away from him, forcing him into the classic under center style. Drop and plant and throw. Maybe that would help get around it.
