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

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.

    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
