It used to be that when you were in a game and you needed to "bend"
things or "tune" it, you were told to "put some English on the ball".
Not this time, DC.
No, actually I got to talk with English in R.S before I moved, he was wanting to do the switch to 4-3. He said it would help bring speed to the front, so we could pressure the QB. Maybe that's why he doesn't blitz, because he thinks he'll get pressure with two DE's...But he told me he was more comfortable running a 4-3 than 3-4.McPeachy said:Adv8RU12 said:Or maybe he will evaluate what kind of defensive coordinator he needs.

It isn't the DC, unless you are referring to HCDC. He calls all the shots. ALL of them. VERY different that Glenn, who let his assistants call all the shots. You honestly think English wanted to switch from the 3-4 to the 4-3? Nope.
Difference being, is that we actually had a decent D-line.marcuswyo said:English wanted to run the 4-3 but so did DC. We actually ran the 4-3 alot last year as well.

Agree 100%. Should have left those guys as LB's (with Schoeber & Hendricks along side...can you imagine)...and just played whatever 3 were available to play. It wouldn't matter...

Hindsight being twenty twenty we might have been better off with some combo of the 3-4. Doesn't change the fact that we weren't exactly racking up sacks and getting to the qb last year. Doesn't change the fact we were that great at d last year. I understand what the coaches are trying to do with putting speed on the field ( Muhamad could play safety he is that fast & and Devyn Harris/keith lewis probably could as well). Knapton and Biezuns are quality players but they both struggled staying on te/rb/wr last year in pass coverage. All being said I don't know the answer but the 4-3 is better at defending the pass on a consistent basis compared with the 3-4 (I would like to run the 3-4 if Breske was running it because he would run creative blitzes & I think we would be ok if Marty would blitz someone other than our front four).
