Well, the scheme he mentioned basically put the same responsibilities on a LB as a traditional 3-4 would, does it not? Either that or just leave yourself completely exposed to play action, misdirection, and open TEs.

Believe me, i can be totally off as well. Just trying to get through the long off-season. If it was on the LBs to absorb and shed OL and make plays, wouldn’t we be recruiting big, bama type backers? Instead, we are getting smaller and, hopefully, faster (i.e., shaq), and implementing the...

Isn’t a large part of our scheme our DL being disruptive and shooting gaps? McIntosh in particular seemed to be in the backfield faster than the snap was - exactly like a 3-tech with 1-gap responsibility should do. If you don’t make that play in the backfield, there’s a big hole to run through...

How much of this is predicated on not giving up the big play, and who’s philosophy is that (Diaz or richt)? Our safety’s lineup real deep, and either we don’t jam WRs, or we suck at it. Everything underneath and in the middle of the field is seemingly always open. It’s death by a million...
