3-4 or 4-3

What has rhule time in the past?

If it is Snow, he was a4-3 guy in the past but he sort of created a 3-3-5 at Baylor their last season there

 

[CameronKrazie86]

Whoever the defensive coordinator is, please do not torture me with more years of slow linebackers lined up against wide receivers on 80%+ of the passing plays like Chinander did.

Baylor had some talented safeties that year. I think 2 were drafted. I wonder if it just made sense kind of like when Nebraska had Eric Hagg.

Honestly, our defense wasn’t bad this year when we were moving the ball instead of 3 and outs. Mickey did a good job. I think Rhule, if he’s in this for the right reasons, can make our roster into winners of the west.

We’ve just hired so many bozos lately I’m not getting excited over anyone, even though I favored a few other guys


ETA: Nevermind, I’m thinking of Aranda’s team last year and those safeties

I kind of hope we play a defense that is flexible to who we play. Against purdue would love some 3-3-5. Against Iowa and Wisconsin perhaps some 4-3 etc.

I think it had to do with the style of play in the Big 12 at the time.

 

[4-3 D]

I still wouldn't be surprised to see the 3-3-5, because of the confusion it causes offenses moving one of the 3 safety's (call him a rover or hawk) where they want him, including using him as a blitzer or sub him for a DT or DE against power run offenses. Being different while most play a 4-3 may have some advantages.

Gifford would make an amazing hawk position. Maybe Wright too

 

[4-3 D]

If I remember Baylor, he likes an attacking D that pressures the QB, could be difference in the Big 10, we'll see.

Let’s just start with the basics.. like tackling in space, defensive end’s holding the edge, linebackers being gap sound, defensive backs catching balls thrown to them..

OSU lost today because their defense didn't bring pressure. Then the run took it's toll.

I’d love for some cats here to draw up the differences between a “3-4” and a “4-3” vs multiple formations and then realize how much a 3-4, 4-2-5, and 4-3 overlap.

All depends on the types of bodies and speed of guys lined up in those alignments
