Benchmarking Mariota 1st preseason game

Hope we're ready for the Falcons 4-3 defense, we've only practiced vs ourselves and we run a 3-4.

 

No. We're in a nickel formation almost half of the time, with a four man front. LeBeau has said that himself.

Well yea that's every 3-4 and 4-3 defense, but our base is a 3-4

 

No injuries. Lewan needs to shank any defensive lineman that gets near him. Warmack can literally eat someone's arm off. We have had crap luck with QBs lately. I hope Mariota has a good 1st drive then we get him out of there.

 

Leaving on a high note!

 

Yeah and it really doesn't matter whether the base is 4-3 or 3-4 anymore. Many of the 4-3 teams are running "hybrids", where the 4th lineman is more of a lb.

You're putting way too much into the number.

 

I made 1 lone post about the issue, you want a thread about it?

 

I hope Mariotta is like me! I was great at practicing with myself, and was a natural when the real thing happened!

 

It's funny you say that. I was watching the locker room interview video of Lewan after practice yesterday. Someone mentioned if he's worried if someone could cheap shot Mariota. He said that will not happen, I will murder him....lol hell yea!
