Defense Scheme

[ericr0319]

I am sorry if this was posted anywhere else already, but do we plan to stick with some form of a 3-4 defense or do we move back to 4-3. Prior to Luke retiring, I really wanted to go back to 4-3 because he leads the defense and he is better suited there, but now I am on board with working a 3-4 if we get the right pieces. 

In any event, does anyone know what the plan is moving forward?

3-3-5

No clue.  I don't think you will get any idea until training camp.

With Luke Gone, going back to the 4-3 would be meh.

thats what I would think. strange out great our front 7 looked last year compared to going into next year. right now pretty brutal.

4-6

Like most things related to the Panthers this offseason, I think it's unknown and will only be speculated about. Maybe after the draft we will know more, but either scheme makes sense now that Luke is gone.

On the Missed Opportunities podcast they had Cody Alexander on there and he was the defensive GA for Baylor under Snow. He was talking about what they ran when he was there and what to expect with Snow, so he was thinking we’d have a sort of 3 down hybrid and run a lot of single high. It’s a great listen bc before Cody Alexander is Seth Galina who talks about Joe Brady and what to expect with his offense. Seth covers the Saints and LSU. S/O Billy Marshall with the Missed Opportunities podcast.

I don't think we'll have an idea of the defense until we see the draft. The young group of defensive ends (Burns, Miller, Haynes) seems promising. I'd like to believe they'll run a 4-2-5 base with the defensive ends being put in the best position to succeed and getting as many reps as possible.

Panthers are probably gonna suck next year. Might as well get the most out of sucking.

Might as well put us up for 4000 rushing yards given up. Also, RIP our QB if we take CB and S 1st and 2nd. We won’t score and other teams will have the ball for 40 minutes a game. 

Agreed.  There are no good answers to fixing this roster quick.  It’s full rebuild time.

Pretty much this. From the way Rhule and his team does things I think they look to see what we've got and build the system around them. 

Lots of personnel activity going to be going on between now and then.

If that's the case it would be silly to move back to the 4-3. We have 3 really promising 3-4 rush ends.

Do we have any of the other parts?

I think we have 1 and 2 other guys.
