It is hard to compare our teams because we are a different team now. when we switched to a 3-4, we stack ourselves with more athletes, because you don't have as many hogs up front to carry on your team. Without the switch to the 3-4, we likely don't draft Clay Matthews for instance.

This is an arguable point. The 3-4 defense tends to put up three 300+ lb guys who are clearly in the "hogs" category, whereas the 4-3 defense tends to put up 2 300+ lb guys and a couple of 270+ lb guys, at least one of which probably plays with more speed and technique than power. So I guess it depends on your criterion for establishing hoggishness.Originally posted by ND72because you don't have as many hogs up front to carry on your team.</delurk>

That's why I grouped the d-line and linebackers together, so we can sort of look at the front seven collectively.Originally posted by ND72It is hard to compare our teams because we are a different team now. when we switched to a 3-4, we stack ourselves with more athletes, because you don't have as many hogs up front to carry on your team.

I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

In High School we were the Hogs....College we were just the fat guys. Now as a coach, I always refer to my OL & DL guys as "athletes"
everyone seems to get a kick out of it...."Running backs over here"..."Athletes with me"....
