The Rickey Jackson-led 3-4 defense never had athletic big men up front...
Neither did Pittsburgh in their last two Superbowls, nor the Ravens... You get big, cock-strong guys who can occupy space and control gaps... This allows linebackers, safties to shoot gaps and stunt from various zones... Plus, a 3-4 puts one more athletic defender vs a big lumbersome linemen on the field who can drop to coverage... And Phillips' 3-4 doesn't stay in the under mode much because he'd spend that LEO defender before the end of the 3rd quarter... Another consideration is when the Saints employed the 3-safety set, they essentially had employed the same as Carolina had when they redeployed their slow safety Thomas Davis to linebacker - it rejuvenated his career and that defense... But, Carolina is also loaded at linebacker, second only to Denver this year, and not by much... |
