3-4 Under Front (Position Analysis)

meily said

Just think its a stronger front with Hicks/Bunkley/Jordan.....I think if Smith is retained you could see Hicks backing up both spots...but to keep those linebackers clean and helping set the edge for Galette or whoever is the Jack Linebacker looks to be the better lineup to do that...keep bunkley at NT and draft a 6'3 320lb NT...its a target position anyway.

See but you have to think about it this way. The weakside of the 3-4 under IS technically the strong side. Your NT is shaded over the left shoulder of the center whle the DE is 2gapping.

That WILB is going to be your cleanest guy in this front. Cam/Hicks or Cam/Bunkley covering up Jonathan Vilma and Galette on the strong side is perfect.

This is why i say the LDT isn't on the roster yet "technically"



Again its all about projecting and its about making the projection as easy as possible.


Projecting Cam Jordan into playing the 5tech since its the same as the LDE isn't hard

Projecting Hicks/Bunkely to play the NT isn't hard because its the exact same thing they were doing in the 4-3. Shaded Nose

The 3 tech is the position we will need. I always see Cali mention Hicks as a Combo DT meaning he could play either or...but id rather him in rotation@ the position he knows (shaded NT) and rotation@ (RDE) since this requires 2gapping which is another thing he can do.
