Moved to 4-3?

Did I miss something or in opening lineup announcements at this past Sunday's game, did they have us showing a 4-3 (really a 4-2-5) alignment as our base set?

It also seemed like we moved to that for much of the game, but maybe I wasn't seeing what I thought I was.

I've been hoping we'd leave behind the 3-4 defense for years now as it just doesn't match the team or pair up well against the builds of the opposing teams in the NFCSouth.

Nickel has become everyone's base D in the modern NFL. Standard nickel is a 4-2-5 alignment but you can also run it as a 3-3-5 stack. The Vikings and Patriots jump to mind as teams that run a lot of 3-3-5.

Yeah few teams are running 3-4 and 4-3 most of the time.  I feel like we use nickel and I know we used a lot of big dime against Atl.  The 4-3/3-4 argument isn't much of a thing anymore.

Not sure but the last few weeks they have been doing what Rhule and Snow used to do.

Rhule ran a 3-3-5 but would show different fronts: 3-4, 4-4, 4-3, 4-2 Big Nickel, etc.

It looks like they have been showing 4-4 and 4-2BN packages since Atlanta.

Wash ran a 3-4/4-3 hybrid when he was the with Jags, so imagine he’s doing something similar on the front 7.

Yeah, even vs. odd front is probably the more accurate modern nomenclature because you're gonna have five DBs in the field the majority of defensive snaps.

Yeah, the broadcast announced we were set up in a 4-3 (4-2-5 in the graphic) in the opening.

We looked a lot better with 4 up front and I hope it long continues that way.

      I think Indiana will win it all but Miami should give them a much better fight than Oregon did.

      If you need some ‘chills’ to start your Friday….

      When I tell people I was at that game, they usually say oh that’s so cool you had the experience. I call it soul crushing. Why? The weeks and months leading up to it were great, the team was fun to watch every week…some weeks the offense was unstoppable and carried the team (saints and giants road games), other times the defense carried the load (jaguars, tampa). Lots of back and forth games against good teams (Seattle and Indy). Good young players on the team, but the veteran leadership was incredible…from Cam, Olsen, Kalil and J Stew to Luke, TD, Norman, Tillman, Jared Allen, CJ. Role players like Fozzy Whitaker, Cotchery (he caught that MFer), Philly brown, Kyle love, AJ Klein, and so on.  The Friday before the nfc championship my wife and I after a few drinks said let’s see what prices look like for flights/accommodations and we got to talking about how much prices would increase if we waited until we found out if we would be in the big game. We said screw it, we are only out $200 if we have to cancel.  Of course we come out and just pulverized the cardinals in front of the most raucous crowd by far we’ve ever had. We had no idea what we would do for game tickets and then found out a neighbor who worked for the team could get us 2 for face value (each employee got two of their own for free, something cool that JR did).  But then the NFL mafia decided that the storyline of manning going out on top like Elway would give them more goodwill than a non traditional QB who didn’t connect with their target demo and the rest is history. I never have and never will watch that game again. I am just hoping I can see them win one in the 2nd half of my life.
