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.

This^^^ We need a true NT and probably 1 more LB everybody else is okay.. Probably need another OLB but NT and MLB are important to stop the run..

Supposedly, when Tepper wanted Ron to switch to 3-4, Ron went along with it because 3-4 OLB edge rushers were easier to find than traditional 4-3 bookend DEs. Hence the drafting of Burns. Who knows how much of that is true. I was hoping to see Burns thrive this year. At this point it would probably be another step back if we switched back.

IF Evero is here next season it will still be the 3-4 base package.  Luvu is playing out of position but it's what we had to do losing Shaq so early in the season.  We need a Will Anderson/Dallas Turner type of guy opposite Burns at OLB.  Matos plays well enough for 3-4 DE.  Getting some upgrades along the DL/OLB you'll see a difference in this scheme.  I think they should stick with it and give it support, instead of switching schemes again and then bargain bin shopping for players that fit that scheme.  That being said, if we go with another DC and they have a different scheme then that is what we are going to go with..

Yeah switching schemes again is a silly idea. The pass defense actually has been surprisingly decent. We need Shaq back at ILB.  I hope Envero sticks around and if he does the 3-4 will likely also stick. A big NT to clog up the middle frees up Brown to do Brown things like ragdolling Olinemen.

I'm only partial to the defense that works and what defense we run will be determined by whoever we keep or sign as our DC. But regardless of what we run, if our defense doesn't make contact until after the receiver catch the ball and make a football move, it doesn't matter what we call it bc it ain't working. We need a upper management and coaching staff foundation with an Identity to build towards...

We are in the first year of running a true 3-4 and our defense has done pretty damn well, despite not having the right pieces at several positions. Get a nose tackle, another ILB (possibly two if we cut shaq), and one or two edge rushers depending on whether we resign burns or not and our D will be very good. Top priority has to be a nose tackle though - you look at all the great 3-4 defenses that have existed and you will find the common theme was they all had a very good run stopping, blocker eating nose tackle to clear the way for the linebackers

      Nate Tice article on Bryce Young

      By rayzor · Posted

      at some point, though, you just have to suck it up and accept it and deal with the bad deal you got.  you go through funks where you keep making mistakes and hope that you get it figured out sometime soon, but in the learning process you realize you could have done some things better but you're stuck with decisions you make. you have two choices...whine about it or just brush it off and hope can make the situation you put yourself work. i know a lot of people in here have probably never experienced or dealt with failure much in their lives, but i have and i learned to just suck it up and try to make the best of the situation you've got yourself in because you realize that you're stuck with it for a while. doesn't do any good to keep harping over what you wish you had done better. you already know that. now it's just about moving forward from here and making the best of it and hoping you can make something of it. it's the easiest thing in the world to look at where Bryce falls short...and yes, that was intentional. everyone knows that and all that is done is beating that horse laying on the ground. what takes some work is trying to see how it can work and if they have done and are doing things to help the situation get better.

      How the Carolina Panthers found themselves in the worst situation

      I completely agree. Guys like David Carr and Darnold have all the potential in the world but really could have benefited from sitting for a few years.

      I will go to my grave thinking that some qbs simply need to sit for a spell and not start immediately and that having multiple head coaches and oc's in the first few years is a sure fire way to ruin a qb.  Having to learn new schemes, new terminology etc while having to learn to lead in the nfl is simply too much for the majority of qbs.  I know it sucks for the fans but look at KC situation.  That had a great vet mentor to mahoomes and simply let him learn with absolutely no pressure in his rookie year.  Not sure why more teams are not following that model.
