3-4...wtf?
Did y'all notice that we staying in a 3-4 for what seemed like most of the game...and it worked?
|
Re: 3-4...wtf?
we knew we could stop the run because of our solid front 7.....but we were more concerned with the pass and thats where the extra LB comes into play....mccray was doing a great job playing outside and marvin mitchell got a lot of playing time today
however, vilma was happy to be traded to the saints because they ran a 4-3 and he was seriously struggling in a 3-4......his numbers will go way down if we continue this and dont mix it up more |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
That is what is so great about Gregg Williams. A little 43, a little 34, eventually some 46... I love his philosophy, instead of making your players fit a system, design a system(s) to fit your players. IMO we are only seeing the beginning of something special. Williams has a reputation of getting the most out of his players and it's really starting to show. Over the past three weeks there has been very obvious improvements on the defensive side of the ball, and it's getting more unpredictable each week.

Re: 3-4...wtf?
I bet the Jets are saying the same thing "3-4... wtf??"
Keep 'em guessing Greg atta boy! Also note that the Bill's offense scored zero points ... zero. At home, in their house, zero points. |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
I noticed that about the defense, when the Henderson and Hokie talked about it on the radio. But, I just thought about Vilma not doing well in it in NY. I hope they only use it alittle, if he does not play well in it. However, he may play better in it with this team.

Re: 3-4...wtf?
I was surprised to see some 3-4 defense too. I'm really impressed with the way Greg is schemeing out our defense and how we're showing improvement week to week. Sean gave him the game ball afterwards. This could be the beginning of something really special this year.

Re: 3-4...wtf?
Williams did mention he was going to implement the 3-4 during the off season... something I've always wanted to see us do. Pressure, pressure, pressure!
|
Re: 3-4...wtf?
Was it a true 3-4 or was it simply a nickel using a LB instead of a corner or safety? Was there man coverage when that "scheme" was in use or was it a zone? Where was it used relative to Bills' field position?
Pardon the questions, but the limited time I got to see the choppy feed prevented any satisfaction for the weekend. Sadness is permeating my home... |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
I don't think Vilma really gives a poop about the 3-4 since he's signed a huge contract, and we are winning by 20.
|
Re: 3-4...wtf?
Thought it worked well and allowed us to bring pressure and confused the Bills somewhat on their blocking assignments. 3/4 4/3 who cares as long as we can bring pressure and continue to stop the run I do not care what the alignment is.

Re: 3-4...wtf?
It's the changing back and forth is what is working 34/43. Confuse the offense every chance you get. I think Gregg Williams is going to have a field day against Sanchez this week. Really make him lok like a rookie trying to read the different schemes.

Re: 3-4...wtf?
im not a fan of the 3-4 but it is supposed to be a superior pass defense to the 4-3s superior run defense
i guess gregg figured that we could stop the run with the our down men and our extra LB could help in pass coverage ive noticed the 3-4 in the past 2 games also but nobody else seemed to notice.....this one was just so blatent because we played it the majority of the game |

And on the Vilma doesn't like the 3-4, I'm betting Vilma doesn't give a poop what we run as long as we get the W. He played a pretty darn good game. 5 tackles, 4 solo, 2 QB hits. |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
I was surprised that we didn't fall into the prevent D at the end of the game
I rather liked seeing that |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
yeah, vilma may not like it but that doesnt mean it cant plan it. he had a good game. im sure the Ws are all vilma care about.
|
Re: 3-4...wtf?
I think Vilma didn't like the 3-4 he was in when he played with the Jets because it wasn't well coached nor well called during games, which wasted Vilma's natural talents and made him disappear from games...
...but this 3-4 Williams is fielding doesn't mean the Saints defense is a 3-4 defense an that's all they do, rather it is a package among many different packages GW is implementing slowly with every game, and this package is called when GW thinks it is appropriate for what he sees the offense is doing. We are looking at defensive schemes we have never seen in a Saints defense: a lot of movement, lots of rotations, lots of different looks. |
Re: 3-4...wtf?
Payton has put the defense in what seems to be GOOD HANDS. Greg Williams has, til now, shown that he has the where-with-all to position people to make plays, and that's what we needed. Each week they look a little better in different areas. My hope is that it all comes together as the season progresses and they are playing their best down the stretch and into the post season. Each week brings new challenges that may call for altered schemes and personnel. I hope they keep getting it done...on both sides of the ball.
