Karst41 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 All things considered, do you think the 3-4 "base package"defenseis better suited against the read-option /pistol offense than the 4-3?Is this what TD & Nolan were hinting at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulitik Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 More athletic LBs on the field, with a big fatty stuffing the run up front. I can see how it could be more effective in theory. It all still really depends on the talent and how prepared you are for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jluk Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Both will work. The pistol read is just an package. The 49ers were able to push people off their gap assignments and exploit over pursuing pass rush. The 49ers have an amazing oline. That is what is paying for the party.

Baltimore didn't allow them to run the ball up the middle. Keeping everything on the edge and allowing their OLB to blow up the play.

I knew I was missing something. My bad. Either one can beat that alignment. We didn't get outcoached or outschemed, our players were outplayed. Our defensive unit was exposed as average playing a strong scheme. We didn't have enough players that we needed and some were still banged up from week 17.

I wish I had known that's what we were talking about. Its really my fault. You have been talking about base package, as in the package. I've been talking about base formation. I've been thrown off with "base" this whole time. My apologies.In all actuality we have been talking the same stuff. Yeah, we do need LB's who can rush past OL and shed blocks to make that work.The prototype for how I was taught is. A mid sized LB on the outside (SOLB) who can cover and tackle. SILB who can read and react, the other with speed great reaction and coverage abilities, then the rushing OLB (RE in the 4-3) who sheds blocks and can get into a backfield.The LB's do have to be more than what we have. We ahve at least two who are a fail right now. That messes the whole thing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumblesjr Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 3/4 will work better against the read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmo_dlo Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think if you have a dominant NT and good DEs then yes, 3-4 alignment would be better against read option than a 4-3 with good DTs and DEs, simply because the D will have more tools to keep the QB guessing so it's a more level playing field between the D and O.
