Bettchers defensive scheme

Breeze_94 : 4/26/2019 10:13 am
I remember reading a tweet that said the Giants were one of a few teams whose defense was not dependent on having a dominant EDGE rush. Does that explain completely ignoring the EDGE? Seems like they are going for guys who can play man on the outside and hoping to generate pressure via the blitz. A guy like Lawrence will occupy blockers and clear lanes for blitzing LB’s

Also, I think David Long from WVU would be a great get in the 4th/5th for this type of scheme. Best blitzing ILB in the Draft.
I think having a top cover corner is very important

to his scheme. Getting one of the top cover corners in this years draft should help allow him to dial up some different blitzes.

I don't think the Giants are purposely ignoring Edge, they had a lot of needs on the team.
Bettcher’s scheme

Thrives off press man coverage and creative blitz packages with DL eating up blockers

I thought Allen would’ve been the dream in this scheme .. as he can be utilized in coverage as well as rushing the passer. I know they love Carter, but pairing him with Allen would’ve been fun while Lawrence/Hill push the pocket right back into the QBs face
Bettcher loves to blitz. He wasn't able to do that much last

season because we didn't have enough cover talent in our corners and also our safeties. That should be better this season - especially when Beal and Baker get a little experience as the season progresses.
Question about DL alignment in Bettcher's system  
Pete in VA : 4/26/2019 10:33 am : link
When asked about whether Hill, Tomlinson and Lawrence could play together, part of his answer was that the system uses a 1, a 3, and a 5.

Am I correct that they are usually shaded to the strong side, so that the 1 and the 5 are on the outside shoulder of the C and the OT on the strong side and only the 3 (probably Tomlinson) is on the weak side?
I do hope Golden

can optimize his talented play and physical well being. It would make me feel more comfortable if he works out.
