3-4 Under Front (Position Analysis)

That's why I think Wilson will be the SOLB...in our dime packages 2-4-5 would be Galette (6'2 258) and Wilson 6'4 250lbs on the edges and Hicks 6'5 325 and Jordan 6'4 280lbs inside...its possible to run this dime package successful and these are the players coach Payton wanted utilized.


YEah that front is possible even if Hicks is your backup NT in your base sets.

In what you mentioned above. Galette and Wilson would be your ends and HIcks would play NT(1tech) and Jordan would play 3tech. Still works out with HIcks playing the shaded nose.


So with my above thoughts...hicks would still see playing time in Nickel/D


I agree that we will probably go 2-4-5 because it keeps Galette and Wilson in on nickel...i just prefer the 3-3-5 will alignment because of the girth. It takes a speed rusher off but it still allows you to be touch against the run if need be. Where as in the 2-4-5 u get that extra speed rusher but your a bit weaker up the middle..(on paper) I wouldn't call Hicks/Jordan weak up the middle.
