I don't know exactly what happened with the conversion to the 3-4.. Or what's going happened with a new coaching staff..

The pieces on paper look solid and the pass rush did improve... But we couldn't stop the run at all and had our lowest rankings as a defense under Rivera since his 1st season..

Could be the normal down fall of a scheme change that happens.. Or we really don't have the pieces to play this defense.   Or our coaches suck in teaching the scheme..  Reality it didn't work..

With new coaching comes new scheme usually.. So is it better we go back to a 4-3 and get a 4-3 coaching staff or keep moving to a 3-4.. Tepper being a Steeler guy might have input on this...

I’m split on it. I’d say find a great defensive coordinator and go with whatever he wants. Our roster has guys that fit each side, but very few that fit both, so either way there should be a fair amount of changes on D this offseason. I prefer 4-3 but guys like Burns, Mario fit 3-4 better...

Transitioning was never going to be a 1 year transition. However, we drafted the pieces to build off of. Wade Phillips once said it’s cheaper to bring in 3-4 pieces than find 4-3 lineman. Bring in a savy 3-4 Defensive coordinator and build through draft. Spread concepts are only becoming more common in the NFL..I feel the 3-4 is better suited for today’s NFL. IMO

We don't know for sure that Tepper dictated or didn't the change. I would say what Ron just did in Washington suggests it's possible but there is no way to know for sure. For the sake of discussion, I think the prudent thing to do is assume the new coaching staff will have the freedom to choose their system or this whole discussion is moot anyway. 

Having said that, I'm inclined to say switch back to 4-3 for the following reasons:

Luke seems less effective in the 3-4

We are undergoing a major rebuild on defense so concerns about present personnel in terms of our d line matter less. Other than Burns, can we really say there is anyone on the defense who matters for which 3-4 is the much better fit?

Since most players play college ball in a 4-3 and most NFL teams run a 4-3, and we have a major need to rebuild talent on on the d line, it stands to reason there is a greater availability of player suirted to a 4-3 than a 3-4, whether through the draft or FA.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
