Traditional 3-4 my ass. Totally wrong. We don't know Jack.

It looks to me like we're moving to a traditional 3-4 base defense (long)

Pretty damn prophetic analysis, there, nik. Amazing really. Remind never to doubt you again. Ever.

Have you seen the highlights in Clay Norgard's profile? That's when I pretty much assumed we'd be going back to a 3-4. Started getting Ted Johnson flashbacks.

Nik the Prophet. Well done sir. The way to beat 3-4 is to spread it out like the Pats do to the Steelers. How do you see our 3-4 handling the likes of Oregon?
You're right about the Pats. They use a bunch of WRs and then dink and dunk their way down the field. But doing that successfully really does take a QB that can read the field, make great decisions, get the ball out quickly, and be patient enough to pass the ball down the field 4-8 yards at a time. Not a lot of QBs can do that. And Oregon is certainly not set up for that. The Pac-12 team that absolutely shut down the Ducks last season was Cal with its 3-4 defense.

Ah Ha! I tried to rep Nik's OP, but it wouldn't let me 'cause I already repped it. You know what that means? It means I had the foresight to know it was a good post. Stick that in your pipes, Allbuffs!
Nik - I am skeptical they changed anything since our last public practice. All fall we have been in a 4-3 hybrid with Hartigan at the LOS doing what he did last year. Some called this a 3-4 last year but it's more 4-3. Nothing has changed except the name of the positions from what I can tell. So I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, the Jack LB position looks like a speed rushing end.
Pretty much. But calling it a 3-4 means that the transition is underway and we're recruiting to that.

Do we have the personnel to run something similar to CSU's vaunted 4-1-6?
:nod:. And expect to see a lot more of certain players with prototypical 3-4 End size (*cough* Kasa) when we are facing a pro style run line it up and run at you teams. When playing the Arizona's etc of the world, we will be much lighter on the line.
