[QUOTE="wist43, post: 554431, member: 9839"] I don't want to debate to TT - my point is most of you guys point to the players, and I never hear a single disparaging word about Capers and the alignment. One thing is for sure - something is terribly, terribly amiss. And since I see a lot of front seven talent, sans Brad Jones and Hawk - and I see that talent standing on the sideline?? I have to ask what's wrong with that picture?? As for the ILB's on the field - you don't need 2 ILB's out there in a nickel. You can match one of them up depending on the team you're facing, the personnel they have the field, and what their tendancies are. If you think they might run it against your nickel? Stick Hawk out there. If you think they're more likely to run their TE up the seam, and flare a RB out in the flat? Stick Brad Jones out there. The increased flexibility you get from having another DL on the field is that you are committing 3 DL to the rush, and have more beef on the field to deal with a potential run - that frees your ILB from as much responsibility to account for a run. You still have 2 LB's to either cover or blitz. As it is, in Capers 2-4, we almost always stay static, and rush the 2 OLB's and 2 DL straight up. I know it's coming, everyone knows it's coming. When we have run more 3-4 as our base, we've had more success stopping the run - look at the last 2 49er games from last year... we played very little 2-4. When we've played 3-3, that alignment has produced better results as well. Most other 3-4 teams go to a 3-3 nickel as their base nickel package. [/QUOTE]
