vincec Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 So I was watching the Georgia and Georgia Tech game this past weekend when Bob Davie made an interesting point. Georgia was playing its base 3-4 defense most of the game for one of the few times this season because GT ran the option offense. With all of the spread offenses in college FB, most teams are in nickel and dime packages using 4 DL most of the time. Then I watched the Bills give Casey Hampton the day off during the Pittsburgh game by playing most of the time is multiple WR formations. So I started to wonder, with all of the passing in the NFL now, does is really make sense to invest money, roster spots and practice time on the 3-4 if the Bills are going to end up playing 4 DL most of the time anyway? The Bills don't play it like the Jets with heavy blitzing and it seems that big ILBs, nose tackles and 5 technique DEs are of limited usefulness against the top teams in the league like Indy, NE, Philly or NO, who pass the ball so frequently.

SDS Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hmm... so I guess this I'm the only one who has been pondering this... If the answer isn't "9 men in the box" or "halftime adjustment" then you've stumped 99% of all fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
