more insight into the defense this season:

After talking to Frank Bush, our team’s defensive coordinator, I understand exactly what they are thinking as well. ... From Bush’s comments it looks like we will run more “under” defense than we have in the past. That looks like a nose to the strong side, a 5 technique (DE that is just outside the OT) and a Sam on the line of scrimmage. The reason I think this is because Bush made reference to Cushing excelling at jamming TEs at the LOS (line of scrimmage).

this link to me apparently by Pete Carroll about the 4-3 under philosophy. Terrific read. Especially interesting when you think that Cushing is a Trojan needed to play the Sam in this defense PLUS the team added another former Trojan in Shaun Cody as well.
