    As for the 3-3 vs the 2-4, I'm much rather rush out of a 3-3 anyway - the offensive linemen have to account for the DL, instead of just looking to pick up a guy coming from the second level - which is easy enough to do when there is nothing in front of you, and you can see the guy coming a mile away.

    The 3-3 is a much better front for the personnel we have. It's really not even debatable IMO - but we have dunderdummy for our DC, and all of you guys are starry eyed groupies, so I'm stuck with having to argue something that should be obvious.

    It depends on the down and distance, and the QB. Packers played the 2-4 extensively on passing and QB run plays versus guys like Kap and other QBs with running chops - but only on passing downs, longer to gain than 10 yard downs and sometimes first downs, depending on field position. It's a trade-off of course. But SPH and Trgo both told me that essentially nickel is base and they are willing to give up runs to stop the passing game. Again, that will of course vary based on the skill of the opposing QB and their team's ability to run the ball, esp. versus a nickel. Also, Packers and SPH value the ability of their guys to adapt, so even if they have undersized guys for pass defense, they still expect to be able to limit the run damage.

    I agree, every once in a while the defense is set up to allow a run, and it can look foolish close to the goal line, but that's not all that frequent, and EVEN IN those cases, the opposition typically has 3-4 receiving threats on the field (think 2013 season finale agains Chicago with Marshall Jeffrey, the TE and Forte all on the field, all threats to burn you in the passing game. You just can't bring in three fatties to defend that).

You just can't bring in three fatties to defend that).
    1) Dunderdummy ran the 2-4 as his base, regardless of down/distance, and regardless of personnel, some 75-80% of the time in 2011. He scaled it back a little in '12 and '13, but that isn't saying much; and then of course MM finally had enough, and got involved with the defense; the Elephant became our base; and we saw a lot more 3-3, and less 2-4. With clearly better results.

    2) Dunderdummy played the 2-4 in short yardage and goal line often times. He played it inside the 10 yd line with goal to go. There's just no excuse for that.

    3) We no longer have "the fat guys" to run a traditional 3-4, hence we have to run the Elephant/hybrid in base - which is fine with me given our personnel.

    4) Given our personnel, the same arguments apply to the nickel, i.e. we should be running a 3-3, so Perry can have his hand in the dirt; Neal is standing up rushing; Matthews is in the middle and presents all kinds of problems for the OL and the calls they have to make; Peppers, Daniels, and Jones round out that alignment.

    Notice in that alignment, we don't have to have either Barrington or Ryan on the field - either of whom would be a weak link in the nickel; or, in yesteryear, Hawk or B. Jones.

    5) If it is as likely as not to be a run, you can go with Richardson are your nickelback; if it is more likely to be a pass, go with one of the midgets.

    Q: Haven't heard anything about Richardson in this camp - is he hurt?? Is he running in any of the subpackages??

    Well, for sure and for certain he has ball skills - no one is doubting that; but if he doesn't get the pick, how many TD's is he going to allow b/c he can't tackle Shirley Temple??

    That's the story of the Packer D under dunderdummy - it's turnovers or bust. Way too much of the time it's bust.

    "1) Dunderdummy ran the 2-4 as his base"

    I don't think the Packer defensive coaches thinks of "2-4" the way you do, especially with Perry on the field.

    "2) Dunderdummy played the 2-4 in short yardage and goal line often times. He played it inside the 10 yd line with goal to go. There's just no excuse for that."

    Yes there is an excuse (reason), but you disagree with it.

    "3) We no longer have "the fat guys" to run a traditional 3-4, hence we have to run the Elephant/hybrid in base - which is fine with me given our personnel."

    I totally agree. Some of this was just out of the Packers hands or alternatively (or at the same time), they did an ineffective job replacing Pickett, Jolly, and coaching Raji.

    "4) Given our personnel, the same arguments apply to the nickel, i.e. we should be running a 3-3, so Perry can have his hand in the dirt;"

    This is what the coaches believe they are doing

    "5) If it is as likely as not to be a run, you can go with Richardson are your nickelback; if it is more likely to be a pass, go with one of the midgets.

    Q: Haven't heard anything about Richardson in this camp - is he hurt?? Is he running in any of the sub packages??"

    They liked Hyde then Rollins. Richardson is a third option, but is the second with Rollins on injured list.

    I think they did just fine replacing Pickett and Jolly last year. Losing Raji hurt the depth at nose. But Guion, Daniels and Boyd played major minutes in base and did just fine, especially after Matthews moved inside.

    Nick Perry with his hand in the dirt is the exact same guy. Even Wade Phillips agrees.

    I think you mean 'replace' differently than I did. The team effectively 'replaced' them in that they made the defense work, but Daniels isn't the same kind of player as either Jolly or Pickett, and Guion and Boyd were just OK. But yeah, they were probably as good as Pickett and Jolly in their last year in GB, but that's not saying a lot.

    It isn't that Perry is the same guy or not - it's that he is a down lineman with different responsibilities that allows for Neal to be on the field on that side, and Matthews in the middle. That alignment will be more stout against the run, and provide many more rush options if it is a pass - plus, you can run/blitz more easily out of that.

    If Perry is an OLB, Matthews can still line up in the middle, but then you'll have Barrington on the field, no?? Barrington stepped up his game a great deal last year, but he is still a 4.92, 40 guy, and always will be. Marshawn Lynch leaving him in the dust for an easy 30 yd gain when the wheels started coming off in the NFCC Game should be a lasting reminder of why you don't want Barrington in the nickel.

    We don't have anyone that can 2-Gap anymore. I don't even think Pennel can 2-Gap. Raji certainly can't, and never could; so, of course their roles have to be different.

    If you put Daniels in there and expect him to hold up against a double team?? Forget it, of course he'll get run over... which is one of the reasons you don't want to run a 2-4 with the personnel we have.

    If you have 3 down linemen inside the tackles - everyone can look to penetrate and control their single gap, and defending the run becomes a much more doable proposition while in the nickel.

    There are a lot of moving parts in this comparison. I meant replace, as in, were able to field a competitive defense with some resistance to the run (meaning, better than 2011 or 2013) on the defensive line.

    While Raji of 2010 was not truly replaced, I think they had enough big bodies that the "base" 3-4 was fine Daniels-Guion-Boyd.

    They do have more penetrators now than before, so short yardage can look a little different now with Peppers, Neal and Jones. However, if Raji is healthy and Pennel somehow makes the team, 3-4 or jumbo 4-4 won't be a problem either.

    We'd have to look at the starting roster to be sure, but I think the elephant position, basically Neal, has allowed them to essentially add one fat guy. Neal counts as an OLB and nickel rusher. The last guy in is likely beefier.

    Of course I made this same argument when we did have guys that could 2-gap - always hated the Jumbo 2-4. Got away with that alignment some of the time, but eventually opponents realized it would always be static, and it became very predictable where every one would be; hence, much easier to block for the run, and b/c we have 2 non-pass rushers on the DL, we couldn't generate any pressure against the pass either.

    The Jumbo 2-4 should have been scrapped long before MM had to step in and put a stop to the madness.

    Did M3 stop it or was Pickett not re-signed?

    Scout.com leader in the clubhouse for the eighth O lineman spot.

    So far, guard Lane Taylor has stated his case while taking a lot of Josh Sitton’s reps the past three practices. It’s only one element but it’s worth noting that Taylor is 7-0 in the daily one-on-one pass-blocking drills. He hasn’t faced a murderer’s row of defensive linemen, but the first of his three wins on Monday came against Mike Daniels — easily the defense’s best one-on-one rusher.

    The 2-4 was mind numbingly ineffective whether Pickett was in there or not - whether it was a Jumbo 2-4, or a straight-up pass rush 2-4, it was an ineffective lineup regardless.

    So if dunderdummy soldiered thru multiple seasons of obvious ineffectiveness with the alignment, regardless of personnel, why would he stop simply b/c Pickett was gone?? The only time the alignment was effective was in the SB season when dunderdummy had Jenkins, Bishop, Collins, and Woodson roaming all over the place to make it work.

    After Jenkins left, that alignment should have been a goner, but of course dunderdummy rode it to infamy and an NFL record for pass defense futility, and the 3rd worst overall defensive performance in league history.

    If those realities were not enough to rattle dunderdummy into doing something else, why would the single loss of an aging NT/DT who at the end of the line dissuade him from running it?? MM said he was going to get more involved in the defense, and from the outset of the 2014 season, the 2-4 was rarely seen; and when dunderdummy did run it?? it was every bit as ineffective as it had been before.
