Reich: "It will be a Base 3-4 Scheme"

It is confirmed; straight from the horse's mouth.  Sounds like we will have multiple looks in our sub packages, so some of the fun hybrid stuff. But our base defense is confirmed to be a 3-4.  Likely 2 high shell Fangio concepts with a bit more blitzing that seemed to be Evero's MO in Denver.

This confirms a few obvious needs:

(1) 3-4 DE

(1) EDGE (could work with what we have but another wouldn't hurt)

(1) ILB

(1) Outfielder/S

Luvu could play a few roles depending on the looks.

Chinn becomes a question mark--S or LB? I'd definitely lean towards ILB, w/a hybrid type role in our sub packages. 

Exciting stuff.

 

 

Correct me if you think I'm wrong on any needs/debate player roles/have at it.

So usually 3-4 ILBs are bigger guys, think Ray Lewis. Chinn would be really small for that role, but we have numerous guys that fit the mold of OLB: Burns, Haynes, the 7th rd rookie from last year that’s really fast, his name escapes me atm. Shaq could work at MLB if he put on some weight, he has the frame for it I think, but his days here are numbered.  I think a ~245 lbs MLB could be targeted in the mid rounds of the draft or sign someone in FA. Chinn could stay a SS and just play mostly run support since our MLBs could be a little on the smaller side for now. I think Brown and YGM will be put DEs for now with both eyes open looking for YGM’s replacement.  We have a couple guys that can fill the NT role. I don’t think we’re far from having a complete 3-4 roster, maybe just a MLB and a second DE. 
 

Chinn can probably move up and play WLB in our 4-3 packages, with Burns moving back to DE and the other OLB going to the bench with a DB replacing him in the backfield.

DL wise, Karl Brooks out of Bowling Green is a cool prospect.  Mazi Smith as mentioned stands out in R2-3.  

I really like the EDGE class in R2-4 like that Felix Anudike-Uzo kid, Keion White.  If Nolan Smith (UGA) fell to R2 at our second spot, that would be an attractive get.  

Derrick Hall out of Auburn is another interesting guy to throw in.  

I actually think this really opens things up prospect wise.

Yeah Chinn is just hard to place if we're going to have two safeties playing back.  They seem completely capable of figuring it out, but he becomes somewhat of an outlier if we're strictly looking at Evero's defenses historicaly.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
