3-4 Defense

First of all to answer all of the responses>>>

No I do not want to change to a 3-4 defense.

What I want to ask is do you all think that us playing three 3-4 defenses during preseason put us at a disadvantage when we start the season?

Most of the teams that we play are lined up in a 4-3 but most of the blitzes and rushes we have been seeing is through a 3-4 this preseason. I know that our offense has struggled a whole lot this preseason but will the outcome be different against a 4-3?

Will we be able to adapt to a four man front?

Are we better suited to play 4-3s?

Do you all think that this event matters?

I just thought it was odd to see three 3-4 teams in the preseason however see mainly 4-3s during.

I thought this topic would break up the monotonous Armani. Jarret, Moore, Clausen, Hardy beast topics...Thoughts?

it was some well needed practice against the 3-4s. typically we don't do as well against them as we do 4-3s, imo. maybe that had more to do with jake. i don't know.

i do think it was interesting that we played against 3 of the top 10 defenses from last year and the 10th best against the run (titans). that might account for some of our offensive problems we've seen.

Playing 3-4 defenses in preseason is a HUGE plus...not disadvantage.

Out OLine practices agaisnt a 4-3 every day in practice. Getting reps against great 3-4 defenses is the only way to work on the different blocking techniques that are needed.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
