Nearly all teams use both the 1 gap or 2 gap system it all depends on the play.

I was under the impression that the Dick Lebeau 3-4 is very different to the Parcells/billicheck due to gap assignments on most plays

"Very" is a relative word. I would wager that the LeBeau system is closer to the Parcells system than it is to a typical 4-3. I imagine that it is the middle ground between the two, but that is a guess...

We hope they are addressing it... they have said nothing to that effect.

Strong possibility of seeing the branching animation system will be expanded to include line moves. From your thread

According to you which one is the lie?

Yep, hopefully these guys are working this out!

Are they fixing 3-4 OLB conversion guys from DE to OLB?A DE in the draft should have something next to his name that says 3-4 OLB prospect. Like the Vernon Gholstons and the Brian Orakpos.

I'm sick of drafting 240lb 4-3 linebackers and plugging them in a 3-4 defense, it isn't right.

Neither is a lie. Stop being so damned confrontational. Seriously, you're quickly going from being harsh but fair to being an outright dick.

"Indicated" does not mean "outright said". What he "indicated" comes from extensive discussions prior to '09s release in various threads, mostly created by LBzrule. The general indication, on the basis of not anything specific he said, but what he was focusing on early, was that line play was a very big deal this year.

But he has never come out and said "we're working on improving how the defensive line works in a 2-gap system", so it is very much speculation.
