Rumor about our DTs

[Fiz]

Good thing we hired that defensive coordinator with extensive experience in the formation.

[pstall]

hmm. now i wonder what formation does best against the pass.

[carolinarolls]

just because a DE is short, smallish, and quick does not mean he is a 34 OLB

No DE's or LB's look good when you are getting gashed down the middle.

Get a run stuffer and watch what some of these guys do

Some teams just do stuff all out of order because they see BPA as a better choice when its really a gamble.

The Panthers are known for doing the right thing at the wrong time and vice versa throughout their short history. Get used to it

Am I the only one that doesn't understand why everyone think Rivera wants to make our defense a 3-4? He had just as much success, if not more, with the 4-3 in Chicago as he did with the 3-4 in San Diego..

I think he wants the skill set to run either defense.Patriots did it alot last year.....its all about match-ups and creating confusion on the offense..Smart move in my opinion.The way he was discribing how he expected the play of our lbs to change did hint a 3-4 look was going to at least be used from time to time. I hope our Dts are up to the challage of being a NT and LBS.

[jarhead]

uhhhhh, wow another 3-4 thread

The tream simply doesn't have the personal to run it full time.

Do you have anything better to talk about?At this point we are all reaching for something other than cam to talk about.

[ChampJack]

it takes time to build a 3-4 and i dont think we have all the pieces... even though we are deep at linebacker... our d-line rotation would be so thin that every team would run on us in the fourth quarter...

[Fiz]

has no one else pointed out the the OP seems to think we drafted a 3-4 NT?

When did this happen exactly?

[DaCityKats]

sione fua played in a 3-4 last year. can he translate that to the next level tho, yeah but rivera has said the panthers will play a 4-3.

Fyi:

a (zero technique) would mean a nose tackle aligned nose-to-nose with a center.

(1 technique) the defensive lineman is line up in the middle of the A-gap.

(2 technique) defensive lineman is nose-to-nose with the offensive guard.

(3 technique) defensive lineman is lined up in the middle of the B-gap or outside shade of the guard. He is responsible for maintaining outside leverage and not letting himself get hook or reached blocked by the offense.

(4 technique) defensive lineman is lined up nose-to-nose with the offensive tackle.

(5 technique) meant that the defensive lineman had his nose on the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle.

(6 technique) was nose-to-nose with the offensive tight end.

(7 technique) meant the defensive lineman had his nose on the inside shoulder of the offensive tight end.

(8 technique) meant that the defensive lineman was aligned on air outside the outside shoulder of the offensive tight end.

(9 technique) meant that the defensive lineman has his nose on the outside shoulder of the offensive tight end.
