Rivera: 4-3? 3-4? How about both?

Since he's been rumored to be named our next coach, a lot of people have debated what kind of defense he will want to run, or is best at running... Well, IMO, this is another good move with bringing him in, as he has experience in the 4-3, Cover 2, 3-4, and played in the 46. What excites me is the possibility of him running a defense similar to the Jets, Ravens, or Steelers...

Although they are primarily 3-4 defenses, we have enough athletes on our team that I can see Rivera getting creative with the formations and putting different personnel out there and mixing up the formations/sets. Just wanted to share, what do you think of the possibilities?

it's not that Gantt has any secret knowledge.. it has more to do with there is no reason to change it since Rivera was just as effective running a 4-3 and is most likely more comfortable with a 4-3 based on the coaches that mentored him early on..

I wouldn't mind seeing variations of a 3-4 every now and then.. there is a lot we could pull off in that fashion when it comes to blitzing on passing downs..

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
