With all the talk about what Southern Miss did and the natural concerns about facing Braxton Miller, Dennard Robinson, Cain Colter, etc I've been thinking about how I would defend these guys if I was NU's DC.
Here's what I would do: I'd run a variation of Buddy Ryan's 46 defense. I'd run a scheme with 3 DTs, two DEs, one or two LBs, and four or five (depending on the down/distance/scenario).
The three DTs would be placed head up, or a zero technique, over both guards and the center.
The two DEs would be widened out to set the containment edge.
The LBs would be charged with running sideline to sideline to defend the running game.
The four or five DBs would have one responsibility-to cover their guy and do not let him get open
In summary, the front six or seven would stuff the run and apply pressure in passing situations and the back four or five would cover.
And oh, my DBs would be up on line playing tight press coverage. None of this off playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage crap.
Thoughts?
