2nd_city_saint787 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 The score is reporting that the Bears have hired Paul Pasqualoni as their LB coach. All 5 years(3 years as a DC) he was in the NFL his teams ran a 3-4. He spent the last 3 years at UConn where, looking at film of Sio Moore and Yawin Smallwood, he ran a bit of a hybrid. He is said to be a good teacher, and that bodes well for a team that just drafted 2 LBs, and it wouldn't shock me to see a 3rd drafted this year....Perhaps the previously mentioned Smallwood in the 2R.

The writing has been on the wall for a while that the Bears were going to switch to a 3-4 defense or at least some hybrid of it when Emery was hired. He hired a head coach who ran a 3-4 in Canada, and Emery did do his best work in Kansas City getting guys that fit their 3-4 scheme and we saw how good that defense was with the right coaching. Looking at his drafts with the Bears, you saw a lot more 3-4 guys than tampa cover 2 guys. McClellian was definitely considered more of a LB type than a 4-3 rush DE even in a tampa 2 scheme. Hardin was a big physical corner who didn't fit into the mold of a cover 2 corner. Bostic wasn't a tampa 2 MLB, he's much more of a FILB in a 3-4 scheme because of his ability to run down hill and take on blockers. Greene was actually a good fit as a WILL in the tampa 2, but the WILL and the BILB in the 3-4 are very similar to because in the 3-4, the field ILB takes on the blockers to allow the boundary ILB to run around and make plays. However, I do kind of hope the Bears stick with a 4-3 base but mix in a lot of different looks and play plenty of 3-4. I believe the Bears are the only franchise in the NFL to have never been a 3-4 team. Besides, I really hate the bubbles the 3-4 defense provides and I prefer the 3-4 really only in pass rushing situations to f*** with OLine protection rules and disguising where the 4th rusher or the blitz is coming from. Personally, I love the 2 gap 4-3 scheme the Seahawks run. It's very similar to the 3-4 where you have 3 down lineman who eat up blockers and 2 undersized DE's but oversized LB's on the edge (one stand up, one with his hand in the dirt in the Seahawks scheme). I'm sorry, I can go on for days about this stuff. Either way, I like the hire of Paul Pasqualini, even if he might not be a very good collegiate HC. Whomever they hire as the DLine coach should probably give us a better indication of what type of scheme will be ran. I'm gonna guess it was someone with a background in both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes as I'm definitely thinking hybrid is the way the Bears are going.

You don't get Mike Pettine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker has experience running both 4-3 and 3-4, so it really doesnt matter that he was retained. All I keep reading is "hybrid 3-4", so it seems like they keeping it as an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I hope Manning wins. He seems pretty cool and I think takes a bad rap for winning "only" one Super Bowl. The other game, I think Seattle will win but if it's SF, I wouldn't mind. I know Harbaugh comes off as a chooch sometimes, but when he was with the Bears, I played in a card game with him once, and he was really nice. He didn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he sure has been a successful coach. And you should win some points for wearing $8 Walmart pants on national television.

cabiness42 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm from Indiana, so I am biased towards Peyton Manning. I went to Notre Dame (and Michigan State) so I am biased against that pretty-boy asshole QB of the Patriots. So yeah, I have the Broncos winning.
