Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 4518213, member: 393"] Good points. I really liked the move in the bowl game to some base 4-2 looks. They also used Darton as a standup DT in some of those looks, positioned at times off the line a step, and moving him around (1-3 tech). I realize that White often used 4 and 5 front looks by sliding LBs and an occasional S to create chaos/cause confusion for the OL at the LOS. What we saw in the bowl game, at times anyway, was different. To me, the discussion is way more nuanced than the debate between those who want more size and those that ridicule posters who voice that opinion. As we saw in the bowl game, there are creative ways of getting an extra DT/more size on the field. That extra DT can still fit the fast explosive d-linemen prototype that the staff prefers for the base 3-3-5. But, allows for the opportunity to situationally use bigger DLs. I was impressed with the defensive creativity, game planning, and play calls we saw in the bowl game. [/QUOTE]
