I think we will with 4 very good LBs ( as well as Toomer that they are very high on ) under contract. I could see A very fast defense and a nightmare to pass against. Thoughts ?
I'm going out on a limb here .... but .....
What I recall seeing, on limited occasions, was a variation of Ryan's Eagle Defense. The center and both guards were covered up by the two defensive tackles plus an end .... Big Red. That makes it considerably harder to execute blocking assignments such as pulling, trapping and pass protection in general. Since the 3-4 defense evolved from Ryan's Eagle Defense and can easily be confused with a 3-4, I'm guessing that is what your referencing.
Also ...... it's common to walk the strong safety down into an 8 man box. As big as Chancelor is, that may be your 4th linebacker.
