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.

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

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.

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

    • Who is comparing the two QB’s as football players? They’re completely different QB’s i said before Baker got here that he could play but the huddle swore up and down he was the worst ever  Bryce very similar right now. Bryce out there with a bunch of guys that’ll be out of the league in a few years minus TMac. And given this thread is about the 4th and 1 play specifically well it was actually TMac that butchered the entire play by running the wrong route 
    • Team goes as the QB goes. It's no wonder we get dogwalked on a regular basis. That's the face of the franchise.
    • Rookie 2nd rounder in his first career game (and a few weeks post punctured lung) gets 6 snaps, is doubled on 5 of them, created a pressure to force a QB scramble on the only one he was singled, and still put a little pressure on one of the doubles which ended up being an INT........... And people look at that as a bad first impression? Even if you wanted to see a better move to beat or get off the double team, just the fact that he's making teams account for him with 2 players on a given snap, is a win for the defense.  It's up to the rest of the defense to make the other team pay for doing so, you can't fault him for that. Seriously, it's like some people are just going to be upset with everything if we're not a SB contender every season and play like it every snap of every game.  I've been screaming it all offseason, we're not a player or two away from being a contender, we're still in the early phase of a re-build, especially if we don't have the QB (spoiler alert, we don't).   Sometimes you just have to see potential and growth from a team at this phase of the process, expecting elite play in week 1 out of guys like Scourton is a picture perfect recipe for ending up upset. If that's what he does in his first game coming off the freak injury and less practice time while recovering, I'm extremely optimistic of what he can turn into with more experience and time to work on his craft.
