Our projected fronts for the remainder of the season

[DOLFANMIKE]

Here's the primary fronts I expect to see us use in the remainder of the season as we prepare for Buffalo and the playoffs vs Jackson / Mahomes

Our 50/ 5-2 Look (A variation of the 3-4) So far this is our most frequently used formation.
WOLB DE NT DE SOLB
Phillips Ogbah / Seiler Davis Wilkins Chubb

ILB ILB


Our Big front 4-3 Elephant (A 4-3 variation we've already been using since Bengals game)

DE DT DT DE SOLB
Chubb Wilkins Davis Ogbah/ Seiler Phillips

ILB ILB


Our 40 Nickel look (This 4 man rush look may become a frequently used defense now that we have a legit 4 Rushers
DE DT DT DE
Phillips Ogbah Wilkins Chubb

S/CB LB LB
? / Kohou Tindall Baker

Unfortunately the site doesn't support the spacing as I did it but you get the idea if you look at placement

i dont think Ogbah is a DT in a nickle, maybe the dime.

you think Tidall will actually start getting snaps on defense?

btw, I think Duke has been our best ILB this season

Yeah I tend to agree, but I think that 4-3 look is based on getting maximum pass rush and guys that can run down Allen, Mahomes, Jackson.
We've put Phillips inside so I'm guessing we'd be ok with Ogbah. Its hard for me to understand using a 4 man rush without our 3rd best pass Rusher in it, but maybe Ogbah will just be a rotation on the outside with Ingram and Gink.

I do. But Ogbah inside and Tindall in the game are the biggest guesses.

I forgot to mention in the OP that all of this personnel is based on pass Defense approach. I think we are going to focus hard on stopping the QB scramble and pass while getting the best pass rush we can muster!
