I hate to tell you guys that think the 34 is bad and keek cant play in it we are probably still going to run it unless we get a old school coach. Keek and shaq regardless of getting mugged by olineman all year still finished at the top of the list in tackles, they are two of the best ilb in the league and keek is the best. The whole problem we had is we went in with no depth at 34 NT/DE. We had more then enough lbs that could play it! Poe in his prime would have been fine and KK is better at taking on olineman then given credit for. The 34 requires two front lineman to hopefully block two olineman a piece keeping the lbs clean and giving 1 DE and a lb one on ones. Thing is they both got hurt...we need depth. The hope is to force them into passing downs so you can take out one of the NT style DE and replace him with a guy like McCoy. Kk-NT-Poe or draft NT on run downs and KK-NT-Mccoy on passing downs.

The same reason why the 4-3 didn't work prior to that

Exactly that's what some dont understand is the 43 would not have worked this year either...it is however slightly less demanding for personal especially big guys and Olbs but it's much more predictable.

It didn't work because it was a bad idea hastily thrown together by a desperate HC.  This was compounded by having Marty as GM, and the cast of characters Ron assembled to be his staff.  It was compounded even further by injuries and the players not adapting to the new scheme.  

At this point, all was lost.  Not a thing in the world could be done to fix it in season.  The idea that we will keep the 3-4 is not logical.  Our defensive roster is stacked with 4-3 guys.  Less change would be required to go back than to shoehorn the 3-4 with bad personnel.  

If they think they are keeping Luke in the 3-4 he should demand a trade immediately.

That’s Hurney for you.

To an extent but I do feel like they told him to transform the team in one year to the 34, he did great with pass rushers. Maybe in year 2 he can fix the run stoppers....it needs to be run stoppers and interior olineman. On offense he tried to fix the outside of the oline last year and 34 pass rushers on D.

I really dont get the thought that luke cant play in the 34, his assignments are almost identical. He was mugged by olineman this year, it will make any lb look worse, he would have looked bad in the 43 too...if you think he looked bad. He still played at a very high level and in the first part of the year was easily the best lb in the league.

Every year he’s been GM this team has gotten progressively worse. 

Any good GM would have drafted the NT first as they take a year+ to develop.

Usually DEs taky a year or 2 to develop but NTs can come straight in especially top 10 picks. One of stars best years was his first and also his second.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
