How I envision a 3-4 defensive front like Bama's looking at the U...

[Bunker Mentality]

1. Terrence Lewis will not be a Miami Hurricane.
2. Wesley doesn’t have the size right away to play an ILB in a 3-4.
3. Chase is a coverage OLB, not a pass rushing OLB. OLBs in a 3-4 base Defense, are DEs.
4. Terrence Lewis will not be a Miami Hurricane

It would likely be more of a 3-3-5 look anyway. One linebacker is essentially a standup rush edge player and one DB is an on the box safety/striker/nickel.

I’ve noticed this too. Seems like a lot of 3-4 defenses only line up 2 inside LBs, with a DE at OLB and a safety at the other OLB, similar to a striker. So not too different from a 4-2-5 or 3-3-5 formation.

I want to see a multiple 3-4 defenses that shifts to a hybrid 4-3 and 3-3-5. The striker bs is trash and everybody that keeps saying all offenses run spread so you have to have a nickel every down is wrong af.

no you would be wrong. Unless you have a special athlete at LB you need the extra db. Nothing trash about a striker except the way diaz used it.

More of a wet dream than a vision right now, but possible.

Now I'm not a proponent of the 3-4 defense, especially in a passing league like the ACC, but dang that's a sweet front 7. Let's not forget about Chase Smith

Flowe is not coming but that’s why you’re Krazy

 

[daherms]

yall sleeping on Roberts, specially in a 3-4 defense. Has the tools to be a extremely productive in a 3-4 def. Guy has bend and is big, which will help free the olbs

I don't think Ford or Frierson are returning. I could be wrong.

 

[canadianhurricane]

He's a perfect 3T/SDE. He's big enough to play inside and quick enough to play outside. Elijah should see the field alot more in a multiple defense

I wish y’all would stop depth charting mofos that are not on the team

 

[TC@ne]

Why are people concerned about having the right personnel for a 3-4 again?

Manny has recruited DE’s to play LB for 6 years lmao, we have a lot of guys i.e. Brooks, Harvey etc who would look a lot better with that transition. Go get your 0 tech and we fvckin!

That is one **** of a wet dream! Love that line up. Are we pursuing Terrance Lewis?

 

[McKenzieMoore]

The consensus seems to be that we aren't pursuing Terrence Lewis.

[Super Mario Cane.]

The consensus seems to be that we aren't pursuing Terrence Lewis.

From what I’ve been hearing there has to be a sit down between T2 and Mario first.

I hope he's ready for his interview.

Wes playing day one

Go watch the sec championship game and see how many times they line up in a 3-4. I rewatched the first half and Georgia wasn't in a 3-4 once. They ran 4-2-5,3-3-5 almost every play. Alabama ran a 4-2-5 the whole half except they were in a 3-4 when Georgia was at the 5 yard line and had two tes two rbs on the TD to Washington. So it doesn't matter if we have 4-3 or 3-4 as our depth chart. We just need to stop the run,tackle get a good pass rush and get off the field on third down. Everything else is what is out on a piece of paper when we release a depth chart

 

[E1k]

I dont think we will run a 3-4 odd front... but again we will be in a 4-2-5/3-3-5 set way more than our base defense

You're delusional man. Let me go through the top 10 scoring defenses for this season with you (and Bama).

1. UGA: Multiple 3-4 with Star position (Striker)
2. Clemson: Multiple 4-3
3. TAMU: 4-2-5 Base (5th DB is Nickel)
4. Mich: Multiple defense, appears to be in a 4-2-5 look for majority of their snaps (5th DB is Nickel).
4. Cinn: Multiple 3-3-5 (Nickel)
6. Wisc: 3-4 Base
7. Penn: 4-3 Base
7. OkSt: 4-2-5 Base with 3 Safeties (Striker by trait)
9. ND: Multiple 3-3-5 with Rover position (Striker)
9. Minn: 4-2-5 Base (Nickel)
18. Alabama: Multiple 3-4 with Star position (Striker)

So, of these 11 elite defenses....8 of them are running a base defense with a striker/nickel for majority of their non heavy set snaps.
