Here's the thing the smart play designers/callers have mastered though:

The front/alignment doesn't matter beyond the read you're hoping the offense to make pre-snap.

The big difference between JY's D and Richie Hall's is that Richie Hall applied this logic to every level including the DL.  Our DL is way too static and we don't have the right type of ends to run this D.

3rd Q, 2nd & 3 at the WPG 3, lo and behold Younger has the D-line playing a 3 man front with a good 2-3 yds. between them, Walter Fletcher takes a handoff and walks into the endzone untouched.  Biggie might have seen that one coming and rerouted.

Thats certainly true for the most part. In th cfl big bodies are more limited and that does limit your fronts a bit more. 
 

Hall did a great job with diverse looks from the front and rush paths. Jy pretty much lines up his 3-4 and sends em straight. 
 

Like that tight 30 front with all 3 inside the guards. Like a bear front with out the two wide 5 rushers. And usually 2 Canadians who don’t do any thing in the rush. And thats the spicy front in our d lol.

Pretty much, Younger wants the defensive ends to keep the qb in the pocket and push forward. Which is a good idea for qbs such as VA and Ford, but with Harris and MBT not so much.

We do need to come up with better blitz packages when we need to so that we are not so predictable. Our team as a whole is too predictable especially in the playoffs where the better teams have studied our tendencies. On offence its very seldom we run a play where you can say that was a great game plan. Most of the time we just rely on the athleticism of our receivers or Brady.

This year especially Buck has regressed in his play calling we use less motion and misdirection than most teams.

The jet sweep package has died, along with other packages and plays we have the pieces for. Remember the counter toss to Harris? The direct snap? The draw? 2nd and longer than 10 was a favourite for the draw to Harris. 

That was Lapo era stuff, wasn't it?
