3-4 Defense


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

I said it before the draft if we are moving to a 3-4 expect us to target athletic long OLB's with the ability to rush and drop into coverage. We got 2 studs in Burns/Miller who will fit the 3-4 perfectly. Besides the Grier pick in the 3rd Hurney pretty much nailed this draft. We could have used the Grier pick on a starting FS and our defense would have been fixed overnight.

At least we now have a backup QB for Cam that we can develop. Hopefully Cam bounces back and QB is no longer a question moving forward for another 5 years at least.lol

Uh... yeah. That's kinda obvious.

I think he actually fits better backing up Poe at NT than he does as a five tech.

Disagree on that. He was always meant to be insurance for Short and I think they see him as having the same profile.

I believe they'll put him at DE. I just question whether it will be as a starter or a backup.

He doesn't have any burst or bend to offer anything as a five tech. People seem to have a false impression of this guy's athleticism. He was 5.33 guy with mediocre three cone and shuttle times. He may have looked good against his subpar college competition, but for a small school guy those workouts should've been big red flags that he very well might not translate to the NFL. His workouts said JAG and they proved to be foretelling.

I'm not a huge workout guy, but I do think they matter a lot more to the small school guys who went up against lesser competition.

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
