so because rivera didn't change the defense when he was promoted to d coordinator mid season that means....what?

was more we don't need to look at a guy that runs just a 4-3. if the guy is worth a damn (as i believe ron is), the base scheme he came from is irrelevant.

if you're suggesting that fox could lead the transition, what makes you think he could assemble the talent?

hell, he can't even assemble the talent for the defense he's running now!

not what i was saying or suggesting. if we replace the turd, the new DC candidates former base scheme should be irrelevant. if thats a current dc, or positional coach, the base scheme they came from is irrelevant.

jim johnson, rex ryan, gregg williams, steve spagnuolo, and dick lebeau all imo succeed with a talented 4-3 group of guys, 3-4 or whatever. they are creative enough to do it.

yeah i remember when tomlin came in to pittsburgh and completely remade their defense, and also brought a defensive coordinator with him and redid the system.

oh wait

for a 4-3 only? John Abraham, Usi Umenyiora, Jared Allen, Mario Williams, Aaron Kampman.

if you open it up to 3-4 OLBs that could probably convert, then you add Ware, Suggs, and Merriman

I'll give you Mario because of his age and upside but the others are stupid...If you are looking for a guy that is purely going to get sacks then yeah go for the OLB and the John Abrahams of the world. But if you are looking for the most well rounded DE in the league then its Peppers hands down. Watch him next year when he goes and plays for DC that knows how to coach and he will be by far the best in the league.

The point about Tomlin was to reinforce the idea that a coach adopting a new system instead of being stubborn can work. Tomlin realized that his system was not a fit for Pitt and Fox should realize that his version of the 4-3 doesn't work in Carolina.

Again, just because I am talking about a 3-4 does not mean that is what we SHOULD do...the point I am making is that if we let a player the caliber of Peppers go then we would feel the effects of a terrible 4-3 just as long as we would feel the effects of a growing 3-4. I'm not a fan that buys into the fact that players can't adapt to new schemes. If TD wanted to play OLB in a 3-4 then he could...if Beason wanted to play a MLB in a 3-4 he could (there are MLBs that chase rather than take on the blocks). Similarly Maake could play the NT if he wanted too...The Ray Lewis comments are BS until I see the article on this site because I have already found one that supports Kemo as a NT.

And you need to chill out a little bit man you are going to have a freakin coronary if you take internet jabber that seriously...I think that people are just throwing out ideas if for nothing else because we are bored and depressed about the end of the season.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
