The Return of 49er DC Robert Saleh

4-3 Under is just an alignment. It does not specify gap assignments. The diagram above is how SEA will often assign their gap responsibilities to free up their Will and Mike. There could be plays where they do this, where everyone is one gapping. The diagram below is just what could be happening, not what is happening.

No doubt. But if I were a seattle fan I would be iffy on their GM to find a rb in the draft, they have whiffed quite a few times. But I see them pursuing someone in free agency like Blount or Lacy.

Not sure how it can be worse than the worst defense in franchise history man.

richardson plays the same position as buckner and armstead, so that idea is foolish.


defo will probably play a majority of his snaps at 3t

AA will likely play strongside DE in base. dial could also see time here.

I think they'll transition eli to sam

I dont think we have our 1t yet unless dorsey is resigned. i think this will be addressed in FA/draft.


although he's not the prototype, lynch will probably play the weakside/leo role. also will be addressed in FA/draft.

Agreed with his...we have no 1tech and id love to bring in someone like B Williams in that role. I do think we need some speed at the LEO

Thoughts on tarrt moving to the will?

Keep Tartt at strong safety. He can play in the box or fill that flat role(you know, the one that picked off Kaepernick in the NFCC).

The assignments in this type of defense are very simple for the LBs and DBs. That's why they draft guys that are athletes. They want them thinking less and flying around the field more.

In wonder how this might affect our draft now: Garrett, Allen, Lattimore, Adams/Hooker, Foster, etc.?

Actually pretty exciting. WCO and a Seattle style defense
