Didn't notice until now...

the number of quality linebackers going into the free agent market. A few options that might not be expensive either.

list of FA lbs

Diggs is 30 after all....

Channing Crowder looks like an intriguing inexpensive option.

LB is the last thing I'm worried about at the moment, but the fact that there is decent talent available doesn't mean we can't take a look at someone though either.

It sucks that this isn't a banner year for DEs. Even the draft which you can usually count on to be deep with DEs is weaker than normal. Top prospect Orakpo even has been discussed to have some real question marks, playwise. And free agency, well it doesn't front too many appealing options either. (from our perspective. In the eyes of everyone else though, they are looking at Peppers with a gleam in their eye)

Are there enough good ones to make the switch to a 3-4?

:ack2:

in lieu of making another thread, i made a special write up on the possibility of moving to a 3-4 in my blog. Iz funny too.

but I did come up with some good points.

Actually Willie McGinest, Brian Scott, Ray Lewis, Eric Barton, Channing Crowder, and Terrell Suggs have all had 3-4 experience.

[Jangler]

I was just mocking the people who want to switch. As long as Fox is the coach we will be a 4-3 defense.

According to that list, Suggs and Lewis won't be going anywhere. Dansby would be a nice get, but I don't think the Cards will let him go.

[jspeight49er]

I don't think linebackers are what's keeping us from making the switch. I think Conner will be a solid LB, pair him up with Beason on the inside, keep davis and diggs on the outside and I think that would be fine. Our D-Line, and the fact that fox is still the coach, would be the major hindrances

[rodeo]

the wife beating thing is a turn off, but boley is speedy and would fit well into our system. but not worth giving up picks for.

[scpanther22]

there are a lot of good LBs in this years draft too

[JuliusP_90]

Hmmmmm, James Farrior is a guy a lot of teams are going to over look but I like him. A lot.

[Fox007]

Yea I agree SCpanther22, I think a bunch of teams will see an improvement at that position after this year.

Hopefully NO is too stupid to pick one up though.

F*ck 4-3 AND 3-4. With the amount of LBs on our roster and headed for FA, we could just run a 7. In addition to utilizing the talent we have on our roster, we wouldn't have to worry about hiring a D-Line coach.

[Snake]

We have the LBs and a DE in Taylor that could be a LB in the 3-4. Still I dont like the switch but if it lets us have a good D then I am all for it.

I like your Idea. Who the hell needs DEs anyway. Screw em let just use LBs.
