I have not been to training camp but I have heard that our offense is running the ball down the defense's throat. We need to swith to a 3-4 defense this season to make up for the loss of Kemo on the D-line. We have the LB's to run a 3-4 defense but the question is will Fox change, plus it would make Julius happy and maybe he would re-sign after this season.

LDE: Tyler Brayton / Everette Brown

NT: Damione Lewis

RDE: Julius Peppers

LOLB: Na'il Diggs

LILB: Dan Connor

RILB: Jon Beason

ROLB: Thomas Davis

LCB: Chris Gamble

SS: Chris Harris

FS: Charles Godfrey

RCB: Richard Marshall

I think it could work but like I said will Fox change?

fox is 4-3 guy, meeks is a 4-3 guy, we do not have the personnel for a 3-4 mainly because in order to run one you need a big NT which would have been kemo. plus it isnt as easy as just waking up one morning and changing he whole defensive scheme weve drafted for since fox got here.

That would easily be the smallest and most bullied defensive line in league history. Have you ever seen a 3-4 defense? Do you know what a 3-4 end is? Damione Lewis is a 3-4 end. Peppers is a 3-4 OLB. If those 3 went up against 5 linemen, we would have zero sacks from our D-line at season's end. Much less, do you know how long it takes to switch to a 3-4 defense? It's a complete defensive overhaul.

Terrible idea. Lets squash this right now! NO MORE 3-4 THREADS!

We don't have a NT to play 3-4. Fox doesn't run it and neither does Meeks.

Kemo is the only guy on our roster who could play the NT.....and the Ravens let him go b/c he really wasn't too good at it (I think)

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
