You might be getting confused because he’s played DE in a 3-4 front with an extra edge rusher/OLB next to him
???????

I can see why that might confuse people! :lol:

first time I've heard him talk about part of his role being attracting new investment
https://twitter.com/BBCLancsSport/statu ... 28129?s=20

If you let the video complete it should roll to one with Kealia
Thanks for posting Vegas.

Will listen to Kealia later, but hearing JJ speak is so refreshing; totally gets the club, seems to love it as much as we do, is realistic about our ambitions but dares to dream too - which, let’s face it, is what we all want and what footballs all about - but hugely intoxicating comparative to what we’ve generally heard from club owners.

Also interesting that part of his role is attracting other investors. Really exciting.

Lol

I just looked at the stats from one of his mid career and he lined up most of the time in something called 4 technique, 7 technique then 3 technique with less than 1% of plays in 0/1 tech (which is a traditional defensive/nose tackle does)

In todays NFL he’d just be called an EDGE defender - he is a generational talent that has the speed of a linebacker and the power/ size of a defensive tackle

It is confusing unless you’re mad into it or played the game or played a lot of madden! (Which I did as a teen)

Basically - most base defences (how they are referred to) in the NFL (not necessarily college/HS) are either 3-4 or 4-3 referring to the structure of their front 7

3-4 is three down linemen, four linebackers
4-3 is four down lineman, three linebackers

——-DE-NT-DE
OLB-MLB-MLB-OLB

-DE—DT—DT—DE
—-OLB—MLB—-OLB

DE = defensive end, NT = Nose tackle, DT = Defensive tackle

OLB = outside linebacker, MLB = middle linebacker

In a 4-3 the defensive ends are predominantly pass rushers, in a 3-4 they are predominantly edge defenders/run stuffers.

A Nose tackle tends to be bigger than a defensive tackle (some can play both) - talking 6ft3+ 330lb+ vs 6ft 290lb+ and a nose tackle is expected to take up more ‘gaps’ and will often be double/triplex teamed by the opposite offensive line

In a 4-3 the linebackers are predominantly run stuffers/pass defenders where as a 3-4 the two outer linebackers are predominantly pass rushers and the middle linebackers run stuffers/pass defenders


The ‘1/3/4/5/7’ technique just refers to which gap/offensive lineman the defensive players lineup over - a 3 technique being on the outer shoulder of a guard, between guard and tackle

There are crossovers of course but JJ had the unique ability to be a bit of a freak - often times got double teamed and could still set the edge and sack the QB meaning he was a real headache for offensive co-ordinators

Massive thread tangent but I hope you might have learnt something 🤣

Great post, Cool.

Not sure what I've learnt, but sure I've learnt something.

So, I'm now expecting JJ to rush and sack all the "no quarter backers" who are trying to get away when Alan Pace seeks their investments in BFC (via ALK/VSP, of course).

Ha - something like that

Any NFL/American Football questions feel free to ask

Once you understand what they're trying to achieve it makes it a lot more fun!

In a way it's similar to at least modern football - it's about creating favourable matchups to maximise your teams particular strength against another teams weakness.

For example - if an offense has a big physical good ball catching tight end (it's like a receiver), & they think the defense is blitzing in man coverage - ie man to man not zonal (think like in football at set pieces, we have man or zonal marking) - that will usually indicate that the tight end is going to be one on one with a Safety - that he should be a lot bigger than - so the offense will try and draw up a play to target the tight end knowing that he will be able to get seperation and be too physical for the safety and thus gain yards on a play

It's similar how we will keep our wingers on the touchline and try and shift play quickly to them when in space so that they can challenge the fullback one on one rather than against a fullback with help from a midfielder, for example.

I'll just add -

That's what makes brilliant Coaches and Team Captains/Quarterbacks better from the rest -

On Offense the quarterback will usually be given a play to execute but often now they are now given two plays to do run dependent on how the opposition are lined up, and also have different audibles out of a certain coverage.

Similarly on defense the sort of team captain can 'audible' out of a coverage if they think they may be exploited -

For example, a QB may not like his protection (the offensive line) and feel like he is going to get killed on a play that might take longer to develop (wide receiver routes are deeper for example) and think the opposition is blitzing - so he may check out into a run play, or a different pass play that has a running back form part of the pass protection, and the receivers running shorter routes

& on defense, the team captain might think that the opposition know they're going to blitz and are going to fake a run and try and sting them over them over the top trying to exploit one on one matchups so may audible out into a play that sends less people after the quarterback and more people into coverage.

The best players/teams - like in any sport execute well and disguise what they're trying to do well, or are just that good you know what they're going to do and you can't stop it - but that doesn't happen to much the NFL always figure teams out... Which is why it's fun to watch!

Ha - Just think of a 4-3 or 3-4 similar to if a manager prefers playing with a back 3 or a back 4

Different personal on the field = different roles and responsibilities for each player

I see that Wrexham have just announced United Airlines as their new shirt sponsor (not that I imagine we have anywhere like the presence in the US to get anything similar).

Interesting

I've flown with United quite a lot and I've found their customer service really really good.

They've just placed (well, a few months back) a ginormous order of 100 Boeing 787s - their CEO has ambitions to be the largest airline in the world

Well done Wrexham. If we could go Global, it would be a huge jump from local businesses and it is what we need to aspire to. We can't be 'Lil ol Burnley' any longer.

Maybe “Lidl ol Burnley”? Global brand and in keeping with our underdog status.

Doesn’t quite have the glamour of United Airline though :lol:

Absolutely agree - a big American brand would be brilliant and a big improvement on a betting firm. I think we’re a bit behind Wrexham though in raising awareness

We’ll need other high profile American investors other than JJ and Kealia, I think. That’s where I find Malcolm Jenkins and CJ Uzmoah’s lack of interest a bit frustrating - both have the profile to raise awareness if not on the scale of JJ but don’t seem to be that emotionally invested. Very much silent investors, which I find odd.

Will also need the documentary to air there and to be a big success. Plus maybe a further season or two.

If we became a brand there we may attract a sponsor, but pretty sure the outlay for United Airlines will be a lot easier to justify when it’s a few hundred k than when it’s £m’s.

JJ is just doing what comes naturally to him. For Jenkins and anyone else they are doing what comes naturally to them. If they aren't as natural in front of the camera it wouldn't work. So they work for the club in different ways that we won't see.

Pretty sure the first picture taken of Ashley watching Carolina before he’d signed, Malcolm Jenkins was sat to his immediate right. Money men don’t always work in the limelight. If he set up a deal for Ashley that saved us 1/2 a seasons wages at 40k per week, I’m sure he got a nice bonus

No idea. I imagine it will dwarf any other League Two shirt deals and very likely be one of the highest in the football league.

Paying for Ryan Reynolds to advertise your product doesn't come cheap. The Wrexham bit is probably a nice bonus.

This is a fair point. And they may also have very different-sized holdings and potentially in different entities (i.e. not BFC directly).

I follow both on Instagram though and don’t post anything about Burnley. Even when we won the title I was looking out for them and don’t recall anything.

I can see your point about what comes naturally to people but I’d have thought as a minimum they might promote the club they’ve invested in on social media. It seems odd to me not to want to do it when you have some money on the line.

But agree maybe there are contributions behind the scenes we don’t know about.

I didn’t know that, thanks for sharing. If he is having a positive impact like that behind the scenes that is good. I do still feel they could do a little more on social media/general PR though.

30-35 million Americans pretend to be Irish.
That's why US presidents pander to them.

This is quite old now but could be why we've brought JJ onboard.

Wrexham may have a big name sponsor but I bet our sponsorship is worth more.
Interesting how you’d measure that…

To me, I’d say United is a better sponsor due and will bring in more long term

Our sponsorship will dwarf Wrexham's.

Surreal. Still can’t quite get my head round our corner of east lancs getting airtime like this. Can’t be bad for us. Not sure how pleased Benedictine’s marketing dept will be mind!

So surreal. Followed Jimmy Fallon for a long time. To hear him say ‘Up the Clarets’ blows my mind!

Apart from anything else, he seems a top bloke. We are very lucky to have him.

He’s class. Refreshing change from the knuckle draggers of the town making the headlines.

He’s a brilliant guy. So genuine, humble, has taken the time to learn the history and traditions of the club, etc. what he’s doing for us across the pond is nothing short of incredible… and let’s face it, he doesn’t have to do this, others like Malcolm Jenkins have invested but haven’t. Top guy.

If Carlsberg did investors stuff.

There's something exceptionally hollow about it all. JJ Watt going on American TV Shows, doing the same patter. Its novelty seeing random actors or American sports stars wearing the Burnley clobber, but we’ll be paying these people to wear them.

On the back of it all are we selling more merchandise, do we have more international fans subscribing to ClaretsPlayer?

I suppose that is what modern football is now though.
