We can make it work. Burns and Luvu on the edges with Derrick Brown as a 5-tech. We'd need to find another 5-tech and a nose tackle but that can be done in free agency.

Just having Burns play edge in this scheme is going to be worth it, IMO. And don't underestimate Frankie Luvu either.

I agree on Luvu he fits this scheme very nicely. We’ll be in base far less than we’ll be in other looks I wouldn’t get too caught up on the pure 3-4.

We have a lot of versatile pieces that work for both types of defense  but I think our edges other than YGM are all better suited for 3-4 and that’s the harder position to find. Evero is going to have a lot of fun with our athleticism and talent.

Evero said that people make too much of a big deal about the base D because it's used only for a few plays a game, the rest of it is sub packages.

i'd like us to get some power on the other side of burns and some more bulk in the interior, but overall i think it isn't going to be hard to fill holes to fit what Evero wants to do because mostly he's just going to be working around what is here.

Exactly. We will be running nickel 60% of the time.  One thing this does mean though.... we will need a handful more linebackers.

We definitely have a good start imo but through FA and draft it will be fine. Definitely need to find some bullies on our DL, YGM will just get murdered out there. Want to see if Brandon Smith can make some noise at ILB in a 3-4. Luvu and Burns on the outside excites me. What this team does with Shaq is also a big question mark right now.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
