Draft Bosa and Play 4-3 Defense?

[rikardo]

What do you guys think?

[rikardo]

D-line Ingram, Corey, Mebane & Bosa
LBs Jerry, Teo & Perryman

[Mister Hoarse]

We play a hybrid D and our "pass rushers" often put a hand on the ground. Not a classic 3-4 look at all.
That said, I think Bosa is gonna be the pick with our signing of Mebane.

[Fleet]

Draft 1) Bosa DE 2) Kelly C 3) Johnson DT. Maybe even pass on Kelly and draft Sua Cravens in the 2nd at SS. Look at a Center in the 4th. Maybe Jack Allen

I think you can run a 43/34 Hybrid and use Bosa as a DE and then use Ingram at LB with Liuget(3T), Mebane(1T) and a DT like Austin Johnson at 5T. In a 34 front we sometimes use our NT in the B gap. Closed side of the formation between the OG an OT. I think Austin Johnson would do well in either scheme and could eventually take over for Mebane in the middle(1T) of the 43 Under and play that NT spot in the 34. Use a cover 3 in that first set up with Cravens at SS. Not big on Bosa at OLB because its his hands that make him so special. But he could probably play that spot occasionally. I see him picking up the weight he lost to run LB drills at the combine. So moving to DE in our 34 looks allows him to engage with his hands.

Just for shits and giggles.

I still think we can plug Bosa in and play him as an OLB in our D as is, because we really don't ask the OLB to drop that much. Maybe we pull a Freeney with him, because we have used him as a hybrid DE/OLB in the past, but I don't see the need. Bosa moves well enough to be a 34 OLB, even if we don't decide to leave him at that spot.

If we did move to more of a Seattle style 43/34 D, you would probably line Bosa up at the shaded DE spot, and let Attaochu or Ingram play the rush LB (Leo/Elephant) spot. Liuget is currently used in the 3 tech spot in our D, so that wouldn't change very much. I also think we probably keep Teo at Will most of the time, but that is just me.

I like the concepts...I wonder what Telesco and Pagano think of Philon...I know he had a limited role because of the injury but they did think enough of him to put him on reserve/return...I think most sixth rounders would have been IR'd...personally I really liked what I saw and think he'll have a bigger role on our Dline than most think

I think Philon could really benefit from the presence of Mebane.

I would like to keep Bosa on the line where he can use his hands off the snap. I think he can be a Michael Bennett type. The majority of his sacks have come at Leo. In 2013 of his sacks came at that spot. But we can use Bosa like Bennett in a few different ways. Not just at Leo. Shit Bennett even lined up over the center on occasion. Again i love Bosa hands so i want him using them off the snap. Once he gets his hands on a player its hard to beat him. I think he can line up outside at 9T and also be successful but i could see Ingram having success also. Shit if Pagano runs that 0T over the center with 2 Wide 9 DEs like he does sometimes i could see Bosa even playing that role as the NT dropping back into coverage.

With Bosa i think we can be interchangable and run those players in the way you mentioned and various other ways. We dont have to be locked in. I was merely showing what a base front could look like.

Really didnt think much about the ilb spots but if i got them reversed my bad. Just threw them out there to show Bosa's versatility as well as Johnson's.

Going off past Seahawks


Melvin Ingram - Cliff Avril (SAM)

Austin Johnson - Red Bryant (5T)

Brandon Mebane - (1T)

Corey Liuget - Tony McDaniel (3T)

Joey Bosa - Chris Clemons or Michael Bennett (Leo)

We could also use Liuget at 5T and slide Bosa in to 3T and use Ingram at Leo and Attaochu at SAM.

It's not just you.

[Fleet]

Whatever. I fucked up. I obviously have no clue. Not nearly as smart at Steve. Ill just stop with the X's and O's.

[Stinky Wizzleteats+]

Don't listen to that noise Fleet! This coach loves players that are veritile and that means moving the around, especially vs the better QBs, the more veritile the players are within a personal group the harder we can make the presnap reads for the QB...

[Formula 21]

If we were a 4-3, I'd love Bosa. I just have reservations about how he fits in A 3-4.
