To answer your question from earlier, I said 3-4 UNDER, (maybe its a 335) b/c Brady is a prolific pocket passer, with a quick release, and pressures probably won't matter to him much. Tampa's rushing is abysmal, so it doesn't worry me, but Tom's arm does. Also, we need to get our sack average up.
This was my original idea with Trey out for this week only. With Hilton and Davis now out, we are paper thin on CBs, so getting an extra LB out there may not be a bad idea.
Hubbard-DE
DJ-NT
BJ-DT
ADG-OLB
Wilson- LB
Pratt-LB
Hilton-NCB
CBT-CB
VB-FS
JB-SS
EA-CB
****EDIT*** Trey's out with a broken wrist. Hilton is out with his Knee, and Jalen Davis is doubtful. So that moves DAX or FLOWERS into the mix and that's all she wrote on CBs unless we move DAX into the slot.
I know exactly what a 3-4 Under is... I'm thinking you are assuming that 4-3 OLBs and 3-4 OLBs are the same? They are not. ADG is in no way a 3-4 OLB - think more Khalil Mack & Micah Parsons.
Running a 3-4 Under assumes that your base defense is a 3-4. In Under the largest/strongest OLB simply moves up to the line on the edge & the reasoning is almost always for run support.
Your takes in this thread are interesting to say the least.
