I wonder if next year on third down, the Bison will use Gus Bradley's "Bandit Package", as the article states they have reduced third down conversions when using this package. Note: even though they have 3 d lineman in, one of the linebackers lines up as the 4th lineman, I have not yet seen them go with just 3 men on the line.
"The wrinkle Carroll and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley rolled out was the "bandit package," an alignment with three defensive linemen, one linebacker and seven defensive backs.
The Seahawks have been able to get more speed and versatility on the field while still being able to pressure the quarterback. Safety Lawyer Milloy frequently becomes an extra pass rusher while Roy Lewis, Jordan Babineaux and Lofa Tatupu all become possible threats to blitz.
"(The offensive linemen) don't know where to go. They point out the protection and once you get that little small mix-up, then someone is coming scott free," Lewis said. "It's giving the offense a lot of problems and we look forward to having those packages on the field because we've got guys that can cover, pass rush and make tackles.""
