Some background on the Jim Johnson 4-3

[Tutto]

I dont know how similiar our defense is to this one explained, I would assume it is pretty close considering Sean McDermott learned under Jim Johnson.

Pretty cool article though, I dont know a ton about Xs and Os, but I do enjoy trying to figure it out.

Good to see that we have rookie fans! Lol

Well it's a nice read and explanatory column, but the only thing I saw to be incorrect was the statement at the bottom. It said cb #2 prince amakaramuru ( guessed at name) played for the wisconsin badgers. He played for Nebraska

We've had quite a few noobs sign up here lately.

He's not a newB... Just doesn't understand x's and o's... That's what makes him a rookie

So bc u have been on this forum longer makes everyone else a rookie. That's makes little to no sense. So what y'all are saying is that bc u discuss topics and argue about what u think and your thoughts on this team makes u a veteran bc u have been here longer than him or me. Maybe that guy is the next bill bellicheck. Maybe he's the smartest gameplaner u have ever seen. U don't know. And for someone to say that u know more or that we're rookies is ignorant. If that's the case I have bigger nuts and they are old veterans and wrinkly.

Idk what I'm even arguing now

U are totally over reacting here bro... Read what I posted. It was a good link that he posted, but he himself said that he doesn't understand football (well the x's and o's of football)

I don't think I'm better than anybody because I've been here longer or swag or pi. I just enjoy talking about football. That's all.

So tone it down a lil bit...

I'm not overreacting. Im chill. It wasn't even aimed towards u. I was just saying just bc people been on this forum longer dosent mean they are football gods compared to us newbies. And I agree bro I like talking football and discussing it and I don't think I'm better than anyone. It just seems like everyone try's go one up on somebody or show someone up by displaying their genius football knowledge.

Personally I like it when people come on here and want to talk Xs and Os. Everyone starts somewhere so there is no problem if they don't know a lot to begin with. Frankly I like folks who come on here and admit they are no experts versus the ones who think or act they are but know very little.

May be it is me but I like Xs and Os discussions on a football forum a lot more than the typical GIF bomb threads that seem so prevalent.

Amen p55. Wish these forums had those age verification checks like porn sites used to have when I was growing up.

the bolded is an overreaction.

no one is saying that.

the OP stated this...

that implies being a newb more than his join date.

back on topic....i remember reading this a while back and thought it was a great introductory to the jim johnson defense.

one thing i saw that was spot on and that i love about it is this...

His defense is a zone-blitz style scheme that attempts to create the same kinds of mismatches that the LeBeau 3-4 tries to create.

given a couple relatively injury free years in the system with a solid commitment to it, this defense could be just as solid and respectable/feared.
