[QUOTE="Techster, post: 450911, member: 360"] So much this. I think too many of us get stuck on what a 3-4 or 4-3 or 5-2 is suppose to "look" or "play" like. After 2010 and the Groh debacle, how many would have wanted to go back to anything resembling a 3-4?! Fast forward to today, and we are all antsy to see CNW's "3-4". CNW said something in one of his interviews. He said: [URL]http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/sports/woody-eager-install-attacking-3-4-defense-georgia-tech-article-1.3747445[/URL] [I]"One of the things I've tried to do is make sure [B]we don't have guys who eat up space[/B]," he said. "I've found that offensive linemen are guys you want to try to attack. [B]Defensively, you want to get guys with speed and quickness. Those guys are able to disrupt a play before the play can get underway.[/B]"[/I] Right off the bat, that tells me he values quickness and the ability to avoid blocks. This isn't Saban's 3-4 2-gap DL where the linemen are huge and act more like glorified shields for the LBs to create havoc. In CNW's scheme, ALL front 7 players have the ability to cause havoc. Doesn't mean 7 guys are flying willy nilly without regard to gap or lane responsibility, but his style calls for specific traits that aren't necessarily the same as other "3-4" personnel. After reading a lot of the posts in this thread, I think a lot of us are stuck on the theory of schemes, and disregard the tape. What's CNW's tape? For me, it's exactly what he's been telling us: He wants guys who will take the game to the OLs, have the ability to stay off blocks, and get into the backfield. There are times, alignment-wise, that his scheme looks like a 4-3 or 5-2. I'm not gonna get too stuck on 3-4 or 4-3 or 5-2...or who's big enough or heavy enough to play where. All I care about are results. After the last 2 DCs, if an undersized Anree, or a former safety/WR in Jalen Johnson are making plays, heck friggin' yes! I'll take results over theory and what looks good on paper ANY day. [/QUOTE]
