    Me neither. But I could see standing up like Von in a 3-4 if they take that route. But I have a feeling we stick with 4-3.

    LEO in the Under, mostly.

    edit: That would actually include LEO in bear, double eagle and 'condensed' 1 gap fronts under Phillips.

    Explain for the uninitiated por favor.

    Weak side edge, for the most part.  Usually involves a wide(r) alignment for some teams in certain looks.  He can also see looks from a 2pt stance, but that isn't very different from some of the times he was standing up when we would run 3 man or odd fronts with Williams.

    Wade isn't a coach that brings catastrophic change to his rosters for his defense.  Like I said, check out Demarcus Ware being used in Dallas then in Denver.  And with the amount of nickel the NFL plays, Myles isn't going to be doing anything beyond what he has been doing so far - rushing the passer.

    He is just getting excited about the new Dr. Doolittle movie....he has animals on his mind.  Lions, Eagles, Bears.     Either that or he is just reciting names of teams in the NFC.   OOOH...they got some other nice animals in that conference.  Falcons and Panthers,  and Rams an Seahawks. 

  • “The first thing to understand about Wade Phillips 3-4 is that it is a one-gap system. The play call is made and the down-linemen attack. It is not read and react, players do not need to occupy space, read the play, then decide what to do. From the snap they are ready to attack.”

    ”What jumps out is the fact that while Wade runs a "system" the system is not what determines how Phillips uses his players, it's the player's skillset. This is one very understated characteristic of a good coach or teacher in my estimation--one who will get the best out of their player's by utilizing their skillset.”
