It's worth a lot to me, especially from you. Like at least 1/643rd of an incog point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 On 12/16/2020 at 11:24 AM, CWood21 said: The Steelers are starting two former FRPs, and a SRP on their DL. They're currently playing 75% (Stephon Tuitt), 40% (Tyson Alualu), and 83% (Cameron Heyward) of their defensive snaps. Comparatively, the Packers have Kenny Clark (53%, 1st Round Pick), Dean Lowry (57%, 4th Round Pick), Kinglsey Keke (44%, 5th Round Pick), and Tyler Lancaster (35%, UDFA). The Steelers haven't developed their IDL better, they've simply invested in it more. The Packers just really have half-arsed their efforts to fortify their IDL. If you subscribe to Planet Theory, the Packers need to. Going back to 2009 (when we switched to a 3-4 defense), the Packers have used 7 picks on IDL in the first 3 rounds. However, since 2014, that number is a measly 2 (Kenny Clark and Montravius Adams). that's why their front-7 is better than ours. Seriously, you'd rather have our IDL than theirs?

MacReady Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 If I was a defensive coordinator, I would run a 4-3 defense and go with my base defense on at least 50% of the plays. I would get bigger than typical DL, smaller than typical off ball LBs. Get me a couple safety/ILB hybrids. Have my corners playing press man coverage and have my linebackers playing predominantly zone. There are just way too many quarterbacks capable of killing a team with their legs. Hurts, Murray, Tua, Wilson, Watson, Jackson, Mahomes... But I hate the idea of zone coverage across the board, so I’d predominantly have the linebackers keeping an eye on the QB with a bigger DL hopefully capable of keeping them clean in the running game. If a blitz is defined by sending 5, I would blitz on at least 70% of defensive plays. Except for maybe one play in key situations, nobody over 240 pounds is in pass coverage. This is what I do in Madden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
