Depending on who our DC will be, a 3-4 is now an actual possibility I think.

Imagine picking up Suggs and Ray Lewis. Having him and Beason in the middle, it would be sick.

I think Brayton can play DE in the 3-4 well, I think he did it in Oakland. Charles Johnson would be a (?) though I imagine he would be a good pass rusher.

Its fun to dream.

3-4 is possible, but not probable.

The most likely chance of that is picking up Romeo Crennel, and if that did happen, I'd as rather run the hybrid 3-4/4-3 that the Pats did than the straight 3-4 that the Browns did. I've already stated my favorite pick for LBs coach is Haluchak, their LBs coach and previously the LBs coach under Fox in NYG.

Suggs is a guy I want if Peppers goes. Remember, he's been playing end anyway recently.

Not happening. In doing so you basically waste Johnson, Brayton, Lewis, and Diggs. And there is no telling if our guys could adjust to it.

The players that could fit the 3-4 Dan Conner on the inside, Beason because hes just that good, Kemo, and maybe maybe Lewis as a DE but he would get worn out.

why is it that it seems most everyone on this board has such a hard on to change to a 3-4? a 4-3 scheme certainly suits our talent much better, as some folks on here have pointed out. personally, i feel like the 3-4 is overrated and kind of a fad, much like the "mobile" quarterback was 5-10 yrs ago.

we were 12-5 this year guys. no need to scrap the entire system. let's see what the new coaches can do.

Since win is wasting players on the bottom of the superstar spectrum a big deal?

Lewis is best suited as a back up.

Brayton is best suited as a back up.

Diggs played pretty well, but he doesn't make that many big plays.

Johnson is up and coming.

Kemo played NT for the Ravens, so he is familiar with the scheme. Brayton can play 3-4 DE.. but Charles Johnson can't play Dline in the 34, he might be able to play OLB in the 34, however. Thomas Davis would either have to move to MLB, or he would have no position in the 34 defense. Davis is not strong enough to play OLB in the 34..

So basically it would require a few pieces here and there, but it is not totally out of the question.

I would love to pick up Tyson Jackson from LSU to play DE for us in the 34 defense. He is like 6'6" and 300 lbs. Reminds me of a Richard Seymour type.

Sometimes I wonder if people even understand what's required to run the 3-4...our defenseive linemen and linebackers as they are right now, have no business with a 3-4 defense, but noo...people are in 3-4 land with their misguided ideas that doing so will bring Peppers back. before this Peppers nonsense, the 3-4 was merely but a figment of the imagination for the Carolina defense...now all of a sudden...we have to do it? Get some sense people

My question to you is, "Why a 3-4?"

Our front 4 doesn't get pressure, and thats a big problem.

With the 3-4 you are blitzing every single play, and from different angles and a different position.

It pretty much changes the previous scheme that Trgo/Fox used and makes it better.

Your high off your ass. Thomas Davis is probably the strongest linebacker on the team. I've seen him bull-rush very good tackles and drive them back.

I'm not one for a 3-4 personally, and I'm also not one to daydream and say IF we had T Suggs or Ray Lewis it would work, but with our actual personnel, what if we did this...

LB's

Taylor-Beason-Davis-Connor

DL

Brayton-Kemo-Johnson

And you could also sub out Lewis and Brayton depending on the situation.

Just my $.02

Why would Connor play OLB?

      I wanted him to take over the hornets next year. He's a hard ass and I don't know if that works with 18 year olds that are getting paid. He's a good coach though

      Daniel Jeremiah mocks KC Concepcion to the #Panthers 👏👏👏

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, dude, come on. There is a huge difference between the two in only one word: explosiveness. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kc-concepcion/3200434f-4e04-6719-61ea-f84c4a062c16     https://www.nfl.com/prospects/corey-brown/32004252-4f35-6941-7d1f-17d92e3e6054 From what I've read, Concepcion is a very explosive, twitchy, dynamic receiver. His problem has been some drops over his career; some he has to own, others have been questionable throws by the QB.  Greg Cosell said that Concepcion may be the most dynamic receiver in the draft. Steve Smith is generally positive. There have been other, perhaps less known, analysts who are more critical, but even they love everything he does before and after the catch. Concepcion gets open!     Is Concepcion perfect? No. But he does have room for growth. He's much better than a nondescript Philly Brown.

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB.  At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1. Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday. The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking.  OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting. Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits. Edge--bottom of the roster guys. If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:   There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson. Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper. Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez. NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.   Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.
