Teams will run different concepts from their bear look. You can rush 3,4,5 and even many variations of simulated pressure. This article looks at sending 3 or 4 and playing the coverage with the outside linebackers in coverage. When you watched Marshall under Guidry, you noticed he liked to play the bear front. But, one of the things he did well was to run the cover 1 while only sending 3 and playing the DE or some would call outside LB as rat defenders.

This was a staple and really resulted in issues for the offense.
