prime21 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Didn't see the tweets but I did read up on his style with the extra DB. This definitely helps and Miliner will be a big part of the defensive rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What this means to me is the Jets still need a true FS and Allen and Pryor are better off playing in Canada than the Jets....minus maybe Allen playing a hybrid LB in some sort of Dime package situation.

Jet9 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah, no doubt. I'm a cynical little bastard and yet some of these guys make me look like a glass is half full guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll have work to do, as well as McDougle, to earn playing time over some other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Isn't 6 DBs basic nowadays? Put the good ones out there, the best ones tend to be CBs. The two LBers getting 50% tidbit is more interesting. That Harris deal is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdetroit Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm a big supporter of using 3 CB's every down. Belichick has done it for years with McCourtywho is really a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaJet Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Officially excited about the future of this team. If Chan can make this offense work, this team will be a lot of fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So he basically runs a 4-3 defense except one of the linebacker spots is occupied by a box safety (Allen, or Pryor). In the secondary, I'm guessing it's mainly press-man coverage (Revis, Cromartie, Milliner, McDougle), with a roaming nickle back (Williams, Skrine, Gilcrest), and a single high safety (Gilcrest, Allen, Cromartie). Technically it is considered "Nickle" defense because 5 DBs will be on the field, but with one of them playing more of a hybrid LB/SS role, it will be more akin to the personnel in a 4-3 formation if you think about it, because lets face it, there isn't a scenario where the mad-blitz-er isn't sending at LEAST four down-lineman. It's a great concept: 4 DL moving forward to get after the quarterback (primary responsibility), and contain the run (secondary); 2 LBs manning the middle to stop the run (primary), rush the passer/pass-D support on crossing routes (secondary); 5 DBs to contain the pass, support run defense, rush the passer. Then of course you move them all around because apparently that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 You guys are reading way too much into these statistics. Too much stock is being put into it. The Cards were severly handicapped on defense, due to injuries, suspensions, lack of depth etc. just personnel overall. To think that Bowles is gonna do the same thing here again is just foolish. Like when people bring up the fact that he was blitzing a lot last season. Which of course is because his front couldn't generate any pass rush so he had to blitz to get to the QB. He's not gonna blitz that much if you give him an elite front that gets to the QB. Now he'll let the guys drop back and cover. So forget these numbers, they mean nothing...
