Hey invader (and everyone else): we had this discussion about the Rams base DL
early returns on fiske seem to be really really positive. from multiple sources. and it seems like everyone makes a point to mention him. players. journalists. fans. i’m excited.
Yeah so far the buzz on Fiske is good. But I was wondering how they will line up the base 3/4. It kind of seems like Turner and Fiske are the same guy. Both 3-techs. Will they have a tradition 5-tech like they did with Donald? Wouldn’t Turner and Fiske be on the field at the same time only in passing down packages? So will it be * Turner/Fiske * Brown * [someone at DE ie. a 5-tech…but who] * Or is the base 3/4 DL going to be 2 3-techs + a nose? so * Fiske * Brown * Turner * ?
that is a question for someone with more football knowledge than me.
Yeah right now it’s a bit mysterious.
Anyway since that discussion, someone put out an unofficial depth chart, and it doesn’t even list a 5-tech/DE for their base, just 3-tech DTs.
The Rams base 3/4 DL with Donald included a 3-tech DT…a nose…and a 5-tech DE. Like I said, on that unofficial depth chart, they don’t even list a 5-tech DE. There were a lot of variations because they moved Donald around, but that was the base DL configurations.
Now it’s just NTs and DTs.
I wonder how much of that will translate to the field and if they’re really going to play a bae DL consisting of 2 3-techs on either side of an NT.
…
