First, I am not on the coaching staff of the Raiders, I had 2 children that graduated from this school, and have been an avid fan for several years. However unlike you, I do know something about football!! What kind of moron would ask the question about outside contain in a 4-4?? You have 2 ouside LBER'S, that can be spread out, or moved in, the DE'S line up head up or outside eye of the last man on the LOS, and you have 2 Corners, DUHH! 4-4 is a tough defense to block, more guys for th front to deal with, putting tackles on LBER'S but can be used for the teams that tend to sweep. As for the problems with the Raider Defense, I don't know what they are, but obviously you do, so I have a suggestion for you. Why don't you quit hiding behind your keyboard, and go tell Coach Huck what all the problems with his defense are? starting with how bad he sucks as a defensive coordinator! From wha I have seen, RV has had the right idea as for defense, but maybe the right people in those positions. It may be because they just didn't have the right people to begin with, I don't know, but I think if they would have tried to anything else, the results would have been worse. But hey, things should be looking up for them, I figure after you go talk to the coaching staff of the Raiders, they will want to hire on the spot, and with your knowledge of football, I see playoffs in the very near future!!!!
Please "disgruntled" if you don't know what is wrong with the defense why are you arguing that the 4-4 works?
It is obvious it does not! Also genius if you don't have the personnel to run the 4-4 why in the world are you running it?
Those 2 OLbers<? what ever those are? Were 7 yards off the ball most of the night in every game and 5 yards from the DE. How can that work?
Also if you watch any inside blocking at the game you will see that the uncovered TE gets to the Lber's and stops pursuit on all sweeps and outside runs,also the unaccounted for guard or tackle is killing the Lbers's on sweeps,6or7hole runs and outside counters.
The 4-4 is too easy to block unless you are loaded with speed. It was abandoned by most teams in the 70's or early 80's. Who that is good runs it any more?
coach Huck might be a great wrestling coach!But! The Defense is BAD has been bad since they went to a 4-4 are you freakin BLIND?
PLAYOFFS! hahaha please drink your last beer and go to bed! You can't average giving up 37 points a game and make the playoffs.
DUDE! RV needs a new scheme.
If RV comes out next year in a base 4-4 they will lose 9 games.
See what happens and tell me after it comes true how ignorant I am?
Please don't insult me! Homer!
