I was just refering to the broadcast. I couldn't tell you for the life of me what we actually ran that play.

 

 

We ran multi front defense like normal. A lot of big nickel with three safeties from multiple fronts. Saw a 2-2-7 disguised look, 4 man fronts and a few with Nick dropping into coverage, some base 3-4 looks as well.

Starters were the big nickel with 3 safeties. Seemed like it got the best talent on the field at one time. 

Moerig legit shined in the scheme.  him a Buffalo Nickel is a good 2fer because it provides some extra size to compete against the run.  Would like to see Moerig stick with the buffalo nickel position, on nickel packages, and have Ransom and Richardson on the backend (nick scott is trash).

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.

 

We now run a 6-7

It's still a 4 man front even if the two edges don't have their hands down. Typically would be used in 3rd or 4th and long. Our new base is a 4-2-5. The third linebacker is like a Kam Chancellor type who can cover as a safety or come up and play in the box. Offers a lot of flexibility and destroys the outside passing and run game. Major reason we destroyed the Falcons and Dolphins yet were destroyed by the Patriots.

It's a finesse scheme and it's going to struggle mightly against a traditional offense like the Patriots are running.

The biggest improvements have come when Turk Wharton is not playing NT.

This cannot be understated. 

Side notes: Pat Jones could have had about 3-4 sacks... very effective at stunts. 

Scourtin is going to be really good in a couple years. They both need help learning how to finish.

      REPORT: Cade Mays will hit the free-agent market

      By strato · Posted

      Why does analyzing the motivations and thought process of a failed draft, and coming up with a viewpoint that is different from yours, or anyone’s, have to equal shoe shining? There is a box and it is okay to venture outside of it. Not a shoebox lol. A thinking outside the box  And the box in this case is a prejudice against Fitterer and his subordinates. For one thing. Also an attitude that it was business as usual for the 2024 draft, and it really wasn’t some damned all hands on deck Chinese fire drill trying to cover Tepper’s butt. Fail at your peril.  It is hard for me to understand that being an unrealistic scenario. And yeah I want Morgan to succeed but it isn’t a blank check. Let him do something like trade the 2027 1st round pick for a lightweight edge rusher… see what you hear out of me about that.

      I get it but it was still the wrong approach. Need a pass catching back, get one in FA. They're out there. Fill the holes that got you to a 2-15 record with starting caliber draft picks. Just about everything that has been done over the past 3 years has been to prop up Bryce and he still barely got to 3k yards. Part of why I'm still not sold on Dan. Just some really questionable at best team building strategies. The draft results this year were better, but overall, at the end of the season, I don't know that the team is really that much better from when he started. We were a 6 win team that got lucky GB couldn't score on 6 trips into the RZ and the Jets were a train wreck. 16 and 13 point offensive outputs aren't going to usually result in wins.

      I loved his approach to cap he'll Hurney left us with. He also called time on a couple guys who were aging out of their contract wants.  That was the good.  The rest, he was just an ass and nobody wanted to see shorts hiked up that high on him ever. They're shorts, not a bra. Thank God one of the twins didn't fall out for the world to see.
