New Scheme

[ericr0319]

if we go to a 3-4, what does our current defense look like? a lot of you are better than me on where these guys fit.

I could see a 6 DB alignment where Chinn plays the “middle back” which is the hybrid MLB role.

 

I don’t think Chinn will be an inside linebacker in this scheme. He will be our big nickel or buffalo back.

I fully expect Brandon smith to get a shot to be in the middle.

Roy and YGM seem like misfits in this system.  Roy got bullied as a 3-tech, won't hold up as a NT.  YGM is undersized for a 3-4 end and not fast enough to be a OLB.

I'd re-sign Anderson to be an end.  Luckily, our undersized DEs in a 4-3 are now perfect OLBs in a 3-4.  I wouldn't mind hanging on to Haynes now.  He was strictly a one down player in a 4-3.

We really have to beef up our DL now.  There was a need for some upgrade/depth in the 4-3 scheme, more so now even with one less linemen; we still need players here for the schematic fit.

I was purely wanting to focus on offense this off season with a tweak to the defense.  I like the Evero hire, but it made our needs on defense increase.  Given our cap and limited draft picks, this is going to be a tough task.

I really hope Evero changes his scheme to fit the players aka 4-3/4-2-5. He’d have to entirely gut the defensive core we have and rebuild to be effective at all, which would at least a season.

Horn at FS? D-Jax learning two entirely different positions coming off an Achilles?

The scheme shouldn't be too different from the one Snow ran.(3 man fronts and 5/6 DBs) Hopefully with better on game calls and better run D.

Horn at corner, Free Safety open as in someone not on the roster yet.

Jackson is listed at the other corner so I'm not sure where you get that he'd have to learn two different positions.

Its not Horn at safety. Rather we need to find a safety.

He is saying that FS is open.. meaning we would have to fill it via FA or draft. He is also saying that Jackson would remain in the nickel when Henderson is on the field. Meaning nickel /dime situations  

[TheCasillas]

Barno as a stand up 34 rusher in Evero’s defense sounds insane. I’m really excited about what we see out of Barno this year. Considering he is the fastest player on the team and plays defensive end/ Pass rush specialist  ……

Lol right. Luvu also makes way more sense as an ILB. He’s not an edge rusher in a 3-4, but he would be a good be a great blitzer from the inside.

I think the shift to 3-4 wont be too drastic considering how many DB's are going to be on the field. We need to pick up a NT, DE, FS, and maybe another LB in FA or the draft but that makes the offseason fun.

[LinvilleGorge]

Whew. Thank goodness I read that wrong. When I read it as Horn to FS I was like "WTF???"

LOL!
