Quote:I found a speech that Pete Carroll gave on his 4-3 Under Defense and I think it's a pretty good approximation of what Bradley and Co. are trying to implement here. Below is the Formation and how it will typically align against an Offense.

 

                               O

                               

                                      O

O                            O

                   O O O 0 O O          O

C               O   5     0    3   L       C

                          M    W

                                             F

                 S

 

Where:

C - Cornerback

O - OTTO

5 - Strongside DE (Bryant)

0 - Noseguard (Miller)

3 - DT (Marks)

L - LEO

M - Mike

W - Will

F - Free Safety

S - Strongside Safety

 

 

That's a very cool map and overview. I think Caldwell is going to get his Free Safety and Otto this year for Bradley. As much as I would like to see and prefer Amari Cooper as our guy at #3. Everyone is leaning towards a DE/OLB/Tweener to be added onto the line and then I think Caldwell has to take a very serious run at Devin McCourty out of New England here in a few days once the market opens up. I think Colvin and McCray will continue to go grow as our starting cornerbacks. I think you look at the nickel position and have Ball/Gratz rotate in and out of there or on the outside for Colvin and McCray to catch a breather. But the Free Safety position needs a major upgrade. Cyprien I think will improve.
