How difficult to go back to a 4/3 D?

I hate the 3/4. Seems a liability against the run and a certain type of player is needed to make it work.

If Brown and Luvu could fit in the scheme and excell, then do it. I'm not sure Burns will even be here in the long run.

Since they are doing a house cleaning except for a few key players, then why not. A new HC and staff and possible GM. If they going to ever do it, that would be the time.

Is it doable?

I'm a traditional 4-3 defence guy & wasn't a fan of the 3-4 scheme at the beginning, but as the season went on & being a newly implemented scheme, they have really showed some promise. It's in the top half of defences in the league, even with so many injuries in the squad, merry-go-round of CB, not having Chinn on the field, and no "real" MLB. Shaq is not the answer at MLB & Luvu is showing an improvement over him, but it's not his natural position.

We never picked up a true 1-technique nose tackle after cutting McCall. I’m surprised the run defense wasn’t exposed more often this year. Nevertheless a 3-4 would work much better with a pro typical 335- 345 pound hog mollie that can take on a double team, without getting pushed around. 

If the reports about Evero staying are true I expect the new GM to help support the 3-4 conversion by bringing in another edge and a 3-4 nose tackle.

I don't know what fans know about 3-4 but why are people saying Burns is DE? Do you know the difference between DE and OLB in 3-4? This thread is odd.

The DEs are not too small and the OLBs are not too small imo. It's more of a talent issue than a size issue imo. I like 6-5 300lbs DEs, but there needs to be the talent along with that. I think we're ok at OLB and NT, but we could upgrade Matos but his size is fine for OLB. Burns is fine but lazy and wanting his big payday. Takes plays off and doesn't want to get hurt mixing it up.

IDC about the scheme as long as we are effective. This season our defense has been very good(not so much this game), so I have minimal issues with them.

Certainly could use some upgrades on personnel but not upset at that side of the ball at all.

Our offense needs a heavy overhaul or at least some fuging identity. I know it was better today but it still has to get far better this offseason.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
