SlobberKnockinFootball Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Can anyone tell me why we are in a 3-4 defense on 3rd downs? We aren't a 3-4 type team to begin with. I thought in order to play a 3-4 you need atleast 3 good CB's to do this??? I don't think we have that type talent on this team to perform this. Also, why in the hell are we in 3-4 near the goaline with a QB like Aaron Brooks? That's just inviting him to run the ball into end zone. This is just another reason and I hate for this to happen. But Edwards is just not working out here. It's time for LaVar to have another Coordinator to ***** about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 We go to a 3-4 so that the opposing lineman don't know where the fourth rusher is coming from. Both arrington and trot can apply decent pressure on pass rushes, so the 3-4 keeps opponents guessing. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba9497 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 It isn't a 3-4, Arrington is a DE, but is standing up to rush the passer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 .......... there was pressure today. Not amazing pressure, but considering brooks' mobility, we did okay. The pass rush wasn't relaly the problem. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 we only pressured Brooks 3 or 4 times never consistently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlobberKnockinFootball Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Exactly, shouldn't we have 4 down lineman and Arrington coming as well? Obviously we don't have the talent on the line right now to provide a pass rush. Why take one away? It just doesn't make sense to me. This is one of the reasons why Edwards in my mind isn't going to cut it as DC. I didn't see Arrington rushing the QB standing up much at all. Maybe once or twice. Another thing. What happened to our blitzing like we did in Miami? It just seems that we go away from things from week to week. We need to generate pressue since we can't get it up front. We should be able to blitz since we have one of the better group of CB's right? And make Champ earn his paycheck right? I dont know...lets all go get high... Up in Smoke!! That's where all my money goes! Who's with me?? :lmao: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
