HC Candidates & their potential schemes

[Mr. Scot]

This.

 

There definitely is that weird unspoken assumption around these parts that we must stick to a 4-3.  

 

I can see us switching in these next few years depending on who's our coach.  

 

It gets shot down a lot, mostly because people think you can just switch systems with the same players and there'd be no transition.

 

We would definitely need to shift the defensive roster somewhat to run it effectively.

For sure.  I think the toughest part is identifying who could legit play well in one that's on the current roster.  

 

DTs and DEs outside of the hybrid types are very different in the respective schemes.  Same with LBs to a degree.  

 

I think a hybrid gap 3-4 could work here. 

 

Off the top of my head, we'd need to find a few critical positions that need to be effective: Nose Tackle, OLBs, FS, & SS

 

I actually think KK could excel at DE in a 3-4 but we'd need another. Don't know about Star though but a Short-NT-Star line could be intriguing.  I could see Addison at OLB as a backup but the rest of our DL is pretty much strictly 4-3 imo.  

 

Could this realistically work?:

 

OLB-Kuechly-Davis-OLB

Short-NT-Star

I'd probably put Davis outside.

 

I think Colin Cole has been a nose guard before.  Probably prefer him as a backup though.

 

And good as he obviously is, I'm not really a big fan of putting Luke Kuechly in a 3-4.

Yeah he just would seem out of place.  He's THE man in the middle.
