[QUOTE="Jmonty71, post: 854895, member: 2970"] The issue isn't with the scheme. It's the fact, that this particular scheme requires certain talents at some key positions. To explain. This scheme leaves some holes and those holes can be plugged with the right talent / skill set. First and foremost, you have have to have a BIG NG or DT, whatever you want to call it. But, that middle DT needs to be able to play the 2 gap and plug up any runs up the middle. He cannot get pushed around like a rag doll. Or he needs to have the attention of 2 OLs, to be able to move him. That's the biggest part of the puzzle. Next to that? 2 fast and I mean fast LBs that can perform blitzes and get the other team's QB on his is azz... As my old coach used to say, no QB will ever complete a pass when they are on their azz.... Those 2 key components are MUSTS in this scheme. I think the 4-3 is a little more forgiving when you don't have blazing talent, to be honest. Since we (admittingly) don't have blazing talent, I fail to see why we don't use the 4-3. I'm not against a 3-4 or 3-3... In fact, I totally understand those schemes have a lot more blitz packages and you can do some crazy stuff with line ups... I get it... However; if you don't have the talent or skill set players to run it, why run it? That's my #1 issue. [/QUOTE]
