Bear with me here. I’m no expert, so I’m looking for feedback from those who are…
I was listening to the NFL channel on Sirius this morning and a conversation came up regarding running against the Bear Front: a nose, two DTs, and two DEs. They said it was nearly impossible to run against and normally offenses will check to a pass to get around it. Their example was the Pat’s Bear Front call in the Seahawks Super Bowl. Marshawn was never going to run on the end zone play because it was a Bear Front and the Pats knew the Seahawks would check to the slant. Good coaching.
I make no claim we have the personnel to run this call often, or we should base our defense around it, but have any of you seen that type of front called this year from us? Have we mixed it in to stop the bleeding in some of our worse performances? I heard we ran some 3-4 stuff to try. Would it even work with our guys?
