Outstanding sir! :rocker:
I will comment that Wilfork plays more than just the 0-technique nose, which the author seems to imply. |

Did I ever say how grateful I've become for this forum, especially over the last 2 seasons or so? No more hapless foraging for my own good reads!

Re: Great read on Vince Wilfork and the evolution of the Pats' hybrid defense
Interesting history about Jimmy Johnson, didn't realize he was such an innovator on defense with such a big impact on the game. Johnson's 4-3 1-gap was as important an innovation as some of the more heralded innovations on offense like those credited to Bill Walsh. Bill Belichick has not only innovated on offense with option routes in the NFL, but now he's going with these hybrid 1 and 2-gap styles all within the same play.
Great read. |

If I had to summarize the article in one sentence:
Give BB Smuckers and JIF and he can only make a PBJ, but it'll be the best damn PBJ you ever ate. http://dawgpounddaily.com/files/2012...lichickpbj.png |
