Guess who they identified as the ideal SILB for this type of defense? Hint: He just dislocated his elbow. |

Re: 3-4 101: The Basics
From the limited footage i have seen of camp our OLBs need to do a better job of setting the edge on running plays.

Ryan needs to realize that he's as smart as the guy that slept in a Holiday Inn Express... |

Great thread!

We've all seen Rogers and what a bust he could be at tackle, but he did have some success at NT with Cleveland. Hampton and Wilfork are beasts, but of the three, Wilfork is the only one that really stays healthy, but therein lies the rub. These guys are big, but are they "in-shape" big or "outta'-shape" big? They take lots of abuse as well, not only from opposing lineman, but just from moving those 300lb+ frames around. You need to find a guy that can carry the weight and not have to come to the sidelines every third play for oxygen. Or maybe a couple guys to share the load. |

Re: 3-4 101: The Basics
during practice yesterday, pre-snap Jordan was only lineman with hand on the ground lined up between center and guard, then right before the snap Will Smith shifts down to DE so they still had 3 LBs out there plus 6 DBs (4 Ss). I like it but Rob might be tipping his hand just a little
