[QUOTE="Techster, post: 389025, member: 360"] Awesome find! Holy smokes. This is the guy I've been looking for to be our DC but didn't know existed until now...particularly because of those last 2 paragraphs. 1: I've always thought the 3-4 was the best fit for GT. LBs are so much easier to find than war daddy DLs. Pretty much spot with CNW's philosophy. 2: Recruit the best athletes, and move them to other positions if that maximizes their value to the team, and ability to get on the field. I've beat the drum that some of our players needed to be moved to other positions so much that you guys probably want to take that drum and throw it into the river. Guys like Jalen Johnson who get little playing time at DB because they're tad slow or don't have the range to play DB, but at 6'3 with very good speed for LB, why not give him a shot there? A LB like Brant Mitchell who's a liability playing in coverage...why put him in scheme (4-2-5) that emphasizes covering ground for LBs when that's his weakness. Put him in a 3-4 where he has help, and his strengths are maximized! Our recruiting pool opens up because of the way you can project some SAs to other spots on the field. 3: Scheme versatility. Defenses can do SO many things in a 3-4 because of the athletes used in that scheme. It's so much more versatile against the spread offenses, but it's also good against traditional power running teams. In an era where practice is limited and you want to get SAs the most reps, but also maximize those reps, CNW's philosophy does just that. Don't know about you guys, but this is the first time in a LONG time I'm excited about spring because of the defense and not the offense. [/QUOTE]
