I think that will shift in the next few years. The NFL is cyclical, so I suspect offenses will start morphing back towards some smash mouth football to counter changes to defenses to stop all the pass happy, high flying offenses with a lot of smaller, faster players.

Not an original thought, I have heard it echoed numerous times by multiple prognosticators over the past couple of seasons.

Somebody's gotta win a Super Bowl with it, or it's not happening.

I don't mean to say that it won't still be led by an elite QB. Those instances are relatively rare. That has only happened 5 times in the last 20 Super Bowls. Nick Foles, Eli Manning(2x), Joe Flacco and Ghost of Peyton Manning. 

One could argue against Flacco and Eli but IMO those were never truly elite QB's even at their best.

If the Ravens won the Super Bowl the league would start to shift a lot.

Realistically the base probably doesn't matter too much, since they're probably in nickel or dime most of the time.

I agree but it matters some- The nickel ran from an odd front is different. It just swaps (depending on preference) an OLB or an ILB. So it’s like the 3-3-5 Snow employed. 

A nickel from the even front typically is 4-2-5. With the nickel usually Replacing the weak or strong side backer.

Our Personnel probably will not make either work as was noted. I wouldn’t mind them trying some stuff out though. What do we have to lose at this point. Let Lawson and Haynes put their hands down and play those 3 Young backers and let’s see if it helps.

Rhule ruined our defense when we went to 3-3-5. Rhule wanted small fast guys on the d-line. Then we kick Rhule out. We had no defensive line except Brown. We never tried to fix our d-line and now with our flipping defense, we have a lot of mixed part on our defense line.

if I was the GM this draft will be ends and dline …. We built the o-line (now we just need depth pieces). Next year build the D-line

The 3-4 can be very effective and has been used for elite defenses for a long time. Has little to do with the base defense and everything to do with the derth of talent to run the scheme.

Switch to a 4-3 tomorrow and we will still suck as badly as we do now.

yeah 3-4 is the best, we just arent good enough on D.

The main reason they left the 4-3, was they could not find or draft 4-3 ends. 3-4 OLB were easier to find according to numbers. 

 

3-4 truly needs a 375 NT ballerina thats tough enough to take on 2 blockers without losing the gaps. panthers dont have a vince wilfork, its where everything starts in the middle. Even Ray lewis struggled without sam adams or ngata.

Yeah, it doesn't matter the scheme you are running if you simply cannot get the right players.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
