Wouldn't Allen be a 4_3 DT?
He would still man the same spots in hortons defense. Except under Williams he'd primarily play 3tech.

OK, so, a 3tech lines up on the outside shoulder of a guard...between the OG and OT. In the 4-3 both DTs would be 3tech, right? A 5 tech would line up on the outside of the tackle....making him a DE.
I assume then that a 1tech lines up in the gap between the OC and OG. That would be more nose tackle terrritory in a 3-4 no?
Would a 4-3 DT never really line up at that spot?
It seems that would leave a huge hole up the middle in normal circumstances. To be filled my the MLB?

Where would our current personell (and/or our future draft picks...Garrett/Allen etc. if we go that route), fit in the above alignment?
Assuming this is the base defense that Williams would run.
-
Allen would be a DT and Shelton at NT I think.
Nassib SDE and Ogbah WDE? Would Garrett be a SDE?
The formation above is similar to what Michigan plays. Sometimes we can the WDE a Buck LB, but it's the same thing.

I don't see these terms used.... I see Open End, and Closed End (meaning on the side of the TE)
Which is which?

Ive moved toward Allen as my #1, but would take Garrett too.....
Then, give me Reuben or a top safety....Adams or Hooker would be just fine.....
Or a premium CB would work too......
Just get some elite defensive talent....pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

Couldn't give you only a half-point, so....
Welcome to Camp Allen!
Now about Foster...
What's your take on how to fix the QB issue? I agree with the defensive strategy, especially early, but we're in deep shit when it comes to QB (STILL!).
It would not hurt to keep games in range of an average QB effort.

Old school term was nose guard. NT evolved from the massive 2 gap heads up monsters.
Alignment depends on call and responding to offensive structure. You can have a 5,3,1,5 a 5,1,1,5 a 9,3,3,5 etc etc. You can run an over playing heads up on the center, guard and tackle of you choose.
Point being alignments are too much to cover in just one post. Allen would play primarily a 3tech, be it strong or weak side. Has the option of floating at the 5 and if you want to get whacky with it, even further on the interior.
Just trying to pigeon hole things into saying 'X goes here, Y goes here' isn't accurate under modern day defensive schemes. With Coach Williams you'll get some interesting looks of front. I remember them playing a lot of 3 man against the Colts in the super bowl.

If you insist on penciling people in just based on THAT pick against what would most likely be 21 personnel.
Danny at the NT, Allen as the backside 3, Nassib weak end and Oby as strong side or 'closed'.
Though you could see Allen as the strong side, oby as a backer and someone like Bryant as the weakside 3.

I should clarify in most under calls, your SDE is a bigger guy.
Easy example for most of you woild be Cam Hayward. 09-10 OSU ran a lot of under looks using him at that spot then we'd kick him around the formation on 2nd and 3rd down.

In the terminology in the photo would DT be the "under tackle"
Nassib SDE and Ogbah WDE? Would Garrett be a SDE?
I don't see these terms used.... I see Open End, and Closed End (meaning on the side of the TE)
Which is which?

WDE would be the open end. More pass rusher, quicker.
SDE would be the closest end. More run stop, stronger

Great stuff Tia. Can we expect anything different from Williams on covering a TE? Still Collins or can we send him at QB?

Sure, I understand that there could be a lot of variation in the alignment.. But I was just wondering who we would have manning the posts in the basic, classic structure.

And what if Garrett were the pick? Where would he fit in? That open(weak) end DE?
Again, everything I hear about him is that he is really a true DE, not an OLB.
Also, question: In this classic 4-3 setup, there is one MLB. Our talent at the LB spot has us with 3 good MLBs: Kirksey, Davis, Collins. I know Collins has been playing outside, but most of what I hear is that his optimal position is inside.
What do we do with 3 MLBs in a prototypical 4-3?

I know that like every team has a different terminolgy for these players. I was asking about the terminology in the above diagram, which is different from what was stated here.
In fact, I have seen, just in this thread, the same positions being called 3 different things.

Strongside... Weakside...
Very old, simple terms for traditionally balanced lines with the TE determining which side is "strong" by adding his body to it "tight" to one OT or the other.

Sure, but then you have the "closed end/open end" terminology. Then the Sam/Will/Mike. then you basic Left End, Right End, Left Outside LB, Right Outside LB....and who knows how many other terms.
I mean, the Stronside Backer/End plays on the side that the TE is on. But a TE can switch sides on every play. Or go in motion. Is he at one instance the Strongside End and in the next instance the weakside end?
If a guy always plays the left or the right, again he could be SDE or WDE on different plays.
And what about where no TE is used? Five reciever sets.

You'll have different terms for different coaches and players. In the end its almost the exact same thing all the time.
Garrett would play open/weak end and some bscker if called for.
