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.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
