[QUOTE="jgtengineer, post: 417177, member: 3094"] So heres the deal with defense. There are 2 schools of thought. School 1 - Attack Attack Attack. This school fo thought is focused on forcing mistakes and getting off the field. This can be done from any number of formations and schemes as this is a philosophical thing. We are now going to be doing this from a 3-4(5-2 alignment) Its actually a more old school way of playing D and was a lot more common when rushing offenses were more prevalent. The last time we ran this was under Tenuta. We also ran a similar concept in 1990 under O'leary and the Black Watch defense was also this mentality ( which is odd why Roof ended up more towards a read and react Defense). School 2- Read and react, This thought process is that yoru defense operates on reading the offense and having a counter to every formation or situation. It is heavily reliant on Play recognition for big play generation and instead trades the Chaos of an attacking defense for a measured response forcing opponents to drive and hoping to force errors. This style of defense is very popular in the NFL because of the talent level of everyone you face. It also has the bad habit of having your defense play to your opponent unless your D-line is winning individual matchups. Wommack, Roof, and Groh all had defenses that varied on this style. This style of defense can work really well (Seahawks, our 2014 defense with its turnover rate genereated through play rec) School 1 is easier to teach and allows players to play fast School 2 is harder and requires players to play smart, but not to smart as all the if-then can lead to freezing and bad calls.
