I read that long-a$$ article on the 5-2 defense earlier today, and how it relates to the 3-4 and 4-3... most of it in one beer and out the other. Of course, I've been preaching for Kyle Orton, a bona-fide (Ray Lewisesque) Killer on Defense, and something new (or at least not copy-cat) as a defensive scheme.
Good.
So, might anyone out there know whether this 5-2 Defense is still a relative option?
My fondest defensive memories involve the numbers 3 and 4, but last we implemtented it (the 3-4), the 4-3 was most common. Now the 3-4 is en vogue, just as the Tampon-2 was (when we jumped on board). Personally, I think it's already too late to be 34 and that the trend will be shifting someplace else. Would this 5-2 be innovative? Could it be the confusion Defense I've been dreaming about? Can we start hurting some people instead of being hurt? Can we become a leader again? Is there anything wrong with a 5 and a 2... like 5 beers and 2 shots... Like 5 bottles of wine and 2 broads... like 5:00 on a Friday and 2 days off...
I like 5-2.
