1. can anyone simply define what you are looking for in your front 7 here?

2. if we do not draft anyone, what is our week 1 starting lineup looking like and why a guy might thrive there/or not? (i've really only followed 4-3 defense because we have primarily been 4-3, with exception of 1 season from what I can remember.)

3. bonus questions where would a Campbell or Sanders fit in 3-4 and where would it move someone to benefit us?

Best diagram guess Base 3-4:

                 Woods - Bell

Horn                                      Jackson

     Burns - Shaq - Chinn - Luvu  

         Brown - Tuttle - Williams

 

For nickel, you can have near identical personnel, Chinn & Luvu's assignments change.  Shaq & Luvu are the LBs.  Chinn big nickel.  Burns is standing strong side near the line. 

 

or another look....(if Chinn plays robber or creeps up to the box, disguise looks)

 

                 Chinn - Bell

Horn                                      Jackson

     Burns - Shaq - Luvu - Haynes (or rookie?)

         Brown - Tuttle - Williams

 

Woods is the guy I'd be willing to sit to bring more flexibility.

I dont believe your nickel assumption is correct. It would be helpful to add that Rowe would come on the field, horn would slide to nickel and Shaq would most likely leave the field. Also, Ervero ran a lot of 6 db 1lb. So i'd expect in our defense as well. Luckily, Chinn is a DB that can play LB.

One thing is true, there's a lot we can do.  The objective in my assumption was how we maximize our best players, making sure Chinn & Luvu are on the field the bulk of the time.  

What's your guess at our nickel package? That's the one to configure as it's going to.be the majority looks.

Right now it’s looking like no matter what they’ll be light inside and easy to run on. After the draft we’ll have a better idea but shaq and chinn can’t take on guards all game 

Exactly. Rolling with what we have atm, this is what we look like:

LOLB: Yetur Gross- Matos - Amare Barno 
LILB: Shaq Thompson - Brandon Smith 
RILB: Frankie Luvu - Kamu Grugier-Hill - Arron Mosby 
ROLB: Brian Burns - Marquis Haynes 

Theres also the possibility of Henry Anderson lining up at OLB. Chinn is backing up at safety and only brought in on special packages. 

Typical 3-4 ILBs are usually around 230-250lbs, sometimes close to 260, and the OLBs are around the same size as 4-3 DEs. Chinn is neither.

I agree, not saying he is per se, I'm just having a hard time placing him.  Do note, he is 6'3 225 so it's not like he's some shrimp out there.  And he said he's bulking more so he could be pressing towards 230.  But that does not mean he's instantly a 3-4 ILB.  But if Navarro Bowman could make it work with Patrick Willis in a Fangio scheme....just saying...

What you're saying is more in line with my second diagram, just YGM in lieu of Haynes.

I am having a little bit of a hard time with people (outside pundits) talking about us in terms of having a good defense. 

We have no real idea what we will get, I don't expect it to be good this year, honestly. Traditionally, this sort of reshuffle takes you a step back before there will be a step forward.

I think a trade for a WR would be best for Chinn and us. Especially if we can get a starting caliber WR.

 

Chinn is a great talent but you have to have a defined role for him. 3-4 is not a scheme you will get the best out of him. 

If Chinn gains around 10 lbs he could fill a Kam Chancellor type role. We'll see what happens though.

I think they’ll be able to rush the passer with a lot of success…but if the opponent lines up and runs it down their throat not much resistance there. Hopefully the draft and late camp cuts fills out the middle of the D

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
