With our current roster are going to run more 3-4?

Fox DE

Gross-Marks DE

Shaq ILB

Perriman ILB

Burns OLB

I think we will run all schemes depending on opposition.  We will have a very fast, athletic D.  Look for us to mix it up between 4-3, 3-4, and 3-5.

Yes, a strength of this staff is that they do not live and die with one way of doing things (on either side of the ball). Adjustments are made dependent on personnel, opponent, etc. I am excited about what the future holds once all the pieces are in place.

Unless you have all superstars, any decent QB can beat you when they know what your scheme is on defense and who's covering who. But when you can disguise coverages buy having guys who can play multiple ways and positions, you tilt the scale towards the defense by keeping the offense (QB) guessing. And that extra second of hesitation is why you have a good pass rush.

Gross-Matos is undersized to play 3-4 5 tech.

 

That's the problem with our stupid roster. Burns is too small for 4-3 5 tech and Matos is too small for 3-4

Why the hell can't we have 2 6'6 285lb 5s that can run 4.6?

Fng Washington has them.

Do what?

We signed a LBer that has a terrible injury history. Pretending he is going to be available is just fantasy. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PerrDe00.htm

If he contributes great! Just don't rely on him being available or building a D around him.

Roy should be the NT. Fox will probably be an OLB. 

Nah my friend, Fox is a 3, or a 5 tech on the DL. Burns, and Reddick as the OLB's in an Odd front, Matos has experience in a 2pt stance, then add in Haynes / Miller / Luvu as depth on the edge of the front 7.

Honestly, they've got a lot to prove that we can put together a good defense, much less a great one. 

First year, coaching gets a pass.

Second year, we need to see a defensive identity emerge, something besides "do what you want to but leave us alone!"

We were one of the worst defenses in the league last season with our stats being just a bit polished by that shut out of a broken down and dejected Detroit squad.

    • I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.
    • I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.  
    • I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
