LA Rams former defensive coordinator Wade Phillips reaffirms his belief in the 3-4 defense to Ramblin’ Fan as the best defense to pressure quarterback
LA Rams former defensive coordinator Wade Phillips may be out of a job, but he is never short of answers. And he proved it on Thursday January 9 on Twitter with an #ASKWade event which began at 10:00 am PST. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for fans to pose questions to one of the best defensive minds in the NFL, and to see his responses via video film clips shared with his followers.
Of course, Ramblin’ Fan was there for the event, and we posed about a dozen questions to Coach Philips. Imagine our surprise when he discovered he selected on of those questions for a video response.
In his response, Coach Phillips reaffirms his commitment to the 3-4 defense, pointing out it has distinct advantages at pressuring the quarterback. During the event, he also claimed that LA Rams DT Aaron Donald is a sure fire hall of famer, as he would build a defense around Donald, OLB Von Miller, DT JJ Watt.
The event occurred on twitter, and lasted approximately 45 minutes. During that time, he responded 11 times to questions posed. It was a great time for us to not only read his views, but actually see him respond.
We’ve added his response he gave to Ramblin’ Fans to the article above. But we encourage you to check out all of his responses here: #ASKWade Twitter thread. There is a reason this guy is an NFL defensive legend. He’s not only one helluva coach, but he’s is a genuinely decent human being as well.
