The Future of Defense?

ramsey this formation is just too impractical to apply to the NFL.

5 linebackers and two linemen. A two TE set would destroy this easily with the run.

You might be right. But I would like to see it in a game situation before I will give up on it. I think you will see a variation of this in the very near future. Matter of fact you already do some Prevent D's have two down lineman and 4 LBS and 5 dbs.

yea but it's not a base defense.

if it was, I'm running the ball with two TEs lined up on either side between the tackle and TE all day.

Im telling you its coming. There will more of these 1,2, or even no down linemen formations in the coming years.

I'll tell you what you need

Jamal Williams (a healthy one), Ted Washington in his prime (but first you need a time machine to transport him here), clone Shawn Merriman to get your two OLBs, Patrick Willis, Jon Beason, and Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, and some corners.

...or you could just be conventional and use a 3-4/4-3 base defense.

See thats all you have to do to argue your side, say it can't be done. I can't prove to that it can because I have no way to do so. If only there was a team that would let me potential destroy there team to maybe have the next revolution on D. Hey AL you seem to be even dumber then me when it comes to new flashy toys can I get a job.

    • If there's another QB that came to the combine after packing on 15 lbs of water weight to hide his playing weight, I don't remember it.  I understand it's all part of the pre-draft game, and he participated. The FO was stupid and ignored huge red flags.  On a side note though, I was at the airport a few weeks ago and saw a basketball team going through and decided to try and look through them. I'm 6'2 and these guys were 6'6 and up. I was amazed by how much I couldn't see around them. And these guys weren't 300 plus in pads. I still think he's having a hell of a time seeing the field at the NFL speed. 
    • There is merit to the points you're making here. On the flip side one could argue it took us investing 150 million in the oline for him to have a breakout season. And he has still yet to hit 1k rushing yards in a season. As far as Brooks goes the position does not require that significant of a draft investment for many other teams. That's not being negative it's just a matter of fact. The 49ers did quite well with a UDFA running back while McCaffrey was out. It is understandable that some people have concerns. That being said it boils down to whether or not you believe in the player. We just have to see what happens with him and Brooks.
    • Okay, that day in Vegas had to embarrass him completely. Andy showed him how to do the job.  What I think when I go there, why did it take Andy? He has had game after game of watching actual NFL QBs work and that didn't do it?  Anyhow Andy did not mess around, he stood in there and did his job and got rid of the ball ahead of the pressure. Down the field. With the same players Bryce had. Night and day.  If that didn't wake him up nothing ever would. But I don't think he has any sort of top NFL QB in him, he just lacks the full tool kit.
