I love this kind of talk especially with the NFL comparisons...Seattle was fun to watch last year and if we play a similar style that's going to reap benefits in recruiting...especially with the Lorenzo Carter types...who prefer the 3-4...a season of running this scheme and we might be on them early

Yes, thank you! The Hawks run the LEO with Clemons to perfection. They don't play with a NT in a 4-3 like the Giants, Raiders, and Patriots do on running downs, but they bring the blitz like no other on passing downs. Our defense will be a mix between the Hawks aka LEO and the Giants, Raiders, Patriots aka NT in 4-3 on running downs. Another thing I'll clarify is when I say NT i mean someone who's 320 or better. Most 4-3 DT are 290-310. The Raiders, for example since I'm a huge fan, have a guy named Lamarr Houston who is 6-3 300 and plays SDE not DT in their 4-3. Their NT last year, who now plays for the Pats, was 6-6 325 in Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour was the other DT who's 6-6 317. Their WDE was Andre Carter who's 6-4 260. As you can see, it fits with exactly what I'm saying our D will look like with Walls at SDE, McCullers at NT, Couch at DT, and Smith at WDE. Also, I think Carr fits this system perfectly as a hybrid SDE/DT depending on whether we are pass rushing or trying to stop the run. Barnett for 2014 fits really well here too just FYI.
