switching to 3-4?

[carpanfan96]

No, not needed and we don't have the players on defense to make it work....it would take a whole lot of signing and draft picks to make even a decent conversion and then your still wasting Beason, Davis, Johnson and a host of other players in that type of defense....

SO NO.

this thread is some seriously funny poo!!

I don't care who ya are, this here is funny!

"How many stupid people are on the huddle?"

How many times does "can we switch to a 3-4" threads exist on the huddle?

Hey, is Shawn Merriman still alive? I bet Ron could bring his broken ass to Charlotte.

[Mr. Scot]

Perhaps we should just stick a thread that says "We are not switching to a 3-4" :sosp:

[Delhommey]

He coached a cover 2 shell 4-3 at Chicago. So yes, obviously he's switching.

[Mr. Scot]

From the Steelers story...

"Would I come in and blow everything up just for the sake of doing it because this is my initial plan? No, you can't do that," Rivera said. "You can't ask the player personnel department to all of the sudden scrap all of the players you have and try and find everything to fit automatically. In Pittsburgh, you look at the players they have and it would almost be like trying to put a round peg in a square hole. You just can't do that."

He's not going to switch us to a 3-4.

Of course it's highly unlikely.

But it has been done as recently as 2009. The Packers are in just their 2nd year since switching to a 3-4 defense. And yet, they were #2 in the NFL in points allowed this year. Very impressive. It can and has been done.

And in fact 5 of the top 8 teams in the NFL on the fewest points allowed leader board employed the 3-4 this season.

It won't happen in Carolina but worse things could happen.

[Mr. Scot]

I'll grant he could. I just don't see why he would.

His primary defensive mentors (Buddy Ryan and Jim Johnson) are both 4-3 guys.

1-5-5 D is the way to go.

errr...he plays for the Bills.

[Mr. Scot]

And just signed an extension.

[Kevin Greene]

And just signed an extension.

Weird thing is is that he did nothing to deserve it.

Granted, but it's the Bills :sosp:

I love the fact that Rivera has coached a 4-3 and 3-4 defense successfully for two different teams. While I don't think we will be a 3-4 defense next year we could possibly switch in the future and having a coach that knows how to coach both styles successfully is great to have.
