Time to embrace the change? (3-4)

I'm pretty sure I actually saw someone else mention it, but we have the personel, and would be able to bring Harris up to play the big run stopper he is.

JMO, and I doubt it happens, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I would hope that Pep would actually be excited about the many things he could do at OLB in a 3-4 scheme as well.

I think it's the coaches some of our current and former players disagree with.(and rightfully so)

I don't think it is just the scheme, you can still do a 4-3 and change up how we do things.

Going to a 3-4 just because won't really do anything.

We probably need our linebackers to be a little bigger. But you look at Pittsburgh and Baltimore and they have excelled in the 3-4. Plus we'd be the only team in our division to use this. We are already short at talent at DT so it would help there. But like I said, we need bigger linebackers.

And Fiz, I thought we were close to getting Peppers back?

While he's scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent on March 1, the reality is the franchise tag looms in his future, either for them to keep him or to maintain leverage in an effort to trade him for picks.

"Ideally, I want to be in the best situation possible for myself and this organziation," Peppers said. "I’m thankful for everything they’ve done for me, and I don’t want to leave them crippled or in a bad situation, and I don’t want to do that to myself either.

"Whatever works out best for both sides is what I’m comfortable with."

what do you think

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
