I'm asking YOU this question due to your ridiculously detailed posts lately regarding schemes and such. How is RR's scheme similar to the one we used a few years ago? I know we put some 34 fronts up but we used so many looks those years that it'd be hard NOT to use a 34 front at some point.
From what ive gatherd 3G's scheme used 3-4 concepts. Even had a few 3-4 fronts(basic) that we would run. Are the scheme different YES..but it appears that 3G introduced quite a bit of 3-4 quirks. We even ended up drafting guys that fit the 3-4 while he was here.
Being that they come from the same tree they also share some of the basic philosophies..albeit 3G obviously prefers the 4-3 as his base...but all the other fronts are hybrid. Weve ran odd/even fronts
RR prefers a 3-4 for his base front but when we get into nickel/dime u will see the same package substitutions and all.
SOLB in 3G's scheme is basically the same is SOLB in Ryans scheme.
They set the edge, cover, then passrush. Basically in that order as far as responsiblities.
SOLB in the 3-4. Same thing. They don't rush as much as the WOLB. SAme skillset for both but they use them in different order
WOLB rush the passer, set the edge, drop in coverage.
As far as Will Smith some of the things he will be asked to do shouldn't be unfamiliar because of his prior experience.
