Our 5-2 is a goal line, short yardage defense. Every team runs this despite their base defense.
Our base defense is a 4-3. Everyone here clamoring about the NT for the 3-4 are not wrong but the true defining positions are the rush linebackers, see Micah and Watt. We have no personnel that come close to resembling the LBs required to play the 3-4.
As to our DLine, only Guy, who we just picked up off the street has actually played a 5T in the NFL, another requirement.
When were not in Nickle(which is actually our base) we play a a 5-2 slash 3-4. Hubbard and Trey both lineup as stand up Edge players(which is essentially a LB).
Even if we do run a 4-3 it's usually a 4-3 under which is essentially another word for a 3-4 or 5-2. The only time we run a true 4-3 defense is when we play Lamar.
I will concede that we have seen more 4-3 this year then in years past but it's more to do with our lack of lineman than what Lou wants to do.
Also were talking about 5-10 plays a game when we're not.in nickle? So it's not that big of a deal.
