[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 942790, member: 17953"] For openers, dropping Keke down as the 4th D-lineman shouldn't happen. He's not a linebacker, but a DT. If he's in there, offenses would automatically believe we have a 4-3 defense On the other hand, Gary and Zadarius Smith fit that category quite well. Keke, at best, is a 2nd level DT. The objective, in a 3-4 is getting the two defensive tackles and NT to occupy blockers, and allow the linebackers to make plays. That means generate the pass rush, handle outside containment, cover short passing routes over the middle, and stop the running game, tackle to tackle, without getting into specifics. So, with the Packers, the weakest link is the passing game thrown against us between the hash marks, to a max depth of 15 yards. We are very vulnerable. The 4-3 relies on the 4 down linemen to generate the pass rush, not taking on blockers directly, but using the lanes between them to gain access to the offensive backfield. You can add a myriad of different blitz packages to this defense. The objective is to generate enough pressure on the QB that the MLB is not overpowered by a speedy receiver, and can control the middle of the field in that short passing zone. Once again, not getting into specifics on assignments. The reason I believe the 4-3 is a better defense than the 3-4 is that it's easier to find players who fit the mold of those positions who can be effective, and it allows you to spend more draft capital on getting offensive help, and you aren't reaching to get a player who "fits" into the needs of the 3-4, even though he's far from being the best player on the board. As far as running a 3-4, **** LeBeau is the only coach that I know of who could effectively create from it, and knew exactly how to groom players to play in it. [/QUOTE]
