Yeah I saw the 3-4 thing on twitter this morning and nearly crapped the bed, then saw it was a mistake.

Based off of the 3 Rutgers games I've watched, Smith does run a lot of stuff that could be construed as being a 3-4 alignment. In those three games their predominant set was three down linemen with a fourth guy standing up on the line. I watched them on my phone and don't know their roster so I couldn't easily tell if it was a LB or DE most of the time.

They had a small DL in 2012, so you were probably looking at smaller than average DEs. Take a look at the post-spring depth chart. They were very small compared to what we have. Hell, Trey Flowers and Chris Smith are nearly as big as their DTs.

For example, one of their starting DEs was 240 lbs when the post-spring depth chart came out.

Wow they were tiny. They absolutely abused our OL that game too. Tyler got killed time after time. They did a lot of stunting and delayed LB blizes that just had our OL's heads spinning. Hopefully Coach B allows him to keep that aggressiveness with our guys.

Yeah I had us winning that game easily just because of what I thought would be a huge mismatch at the line of scrimmage... but it didn't work out that way.

Not undercutting your point, but we should probably remember that that O-line was absolutely horrendous, as evidenced by the fact that we started two walk-ons. Most defenses we faced treated Tyler Wilson like Bogs and The Sisters treated Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption.

Still, though, I like what he can do with an undersized front seven.
