4)You know why DE in 3-4 need to be tall and long?
a) As DE job is to hold the block and rush when the QB throws he can raise his hands to block the passing lanes. Seymour was very good at this and this is due to developing this skill set and being tall.
b) The ability to stand and look at the qb drop and then rush the passer. a 6 2 DE while lower to the ground will have trouble looking over a taller OT to determine to rush the passer.
C) Same applies for finding the RB running behind the Line. If he is shorter and plays with a lower CG he is not going to able to see the RB.
d) Longer hands give leverage to shed blockers and get the RB.
at 6,2 vince playing low will never be able to develop the height to block throws or determine when to rush.
How do you know Wilfork won't be able to develop that height? It could happen!:robot:
