Re: Where will Braden Fiske play? I think we know...

"I broke this down in a previous article of mine discussing why the Rams shouldn't panic into a first-round defensive tackle to replace Donald (something they seemingly did anyways a round later), but from what we can gleam the Rams' defensive fronts to be, Fiske's fit is...a bit odd."
.

Then he says, "In the Rams' base odd front looks, they'll look something like this:

EDGE
DE/4
NT/0T
DE/4
EDGE





and their sub-package (third-down) looks with two defensive linemen and "four-down" looks are something like this:

EDGE
3T
1T
EDGE

---- and then The 3-down linemen in that grouping are playing 4-0-4 techniques

Well, I have not seen Aaron Donald in a "4" -- a "4i" yes

so he says 4-0-4
but usually it's a 4i-0-3
or any of these
5-0-3
4i-1-3
5-1-3
4i-0-4i

And he says they two-gap. Thye play gap-1/2.

So, he close ... but so far.

He speculates that Fiske is a 4-tech in base and a 1T in passing--I guess, but he thinks Fiske is a "3tech"

My opinion is different. He's not taking Donald's spot, he's taking Williams' in base and Turner in nickel, and Turner goes to Donald's spot in both.

We ill have to wait and see...but I think Rams have more plans for Fiske than this guy is giving credit for.
