Message: [QUOTE="anomander, post: 793588, member: 2766"] your right especially sticking with the 3-4. i still didn't think we had the personnel to play a straight up 3-4, but maybe we have a different plan for it. this is nothing like the old Steelers 3-4, it almost seems like they are giving the old 3-4 principles a whole new twist. were not seeing the jumbo sized DT's, and were definitely not seeing the James Harrison sized OLB's. Were obviously going with smaller/faster OLB's i'm guessing to help attack all of these spread offenses? Again not sure if this is the future blueprint, but I remember Shafer saying he thinks the LBer position is the key to attacking these type of offenses. Plus based on the type of OLB's were recruiting it looks like that's what he's trying to do. a 3-4 based primarily on speed could be pretty interesting [/QUOTE]
