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..

    • Just to clarify: I'm not arguing that height or footwork can’t affect QB play. I'm asking how those concerns translate into measurable, consistent outcomes. That’s the standard we should be applying to all QBs, not just Bryce. If height is such a limitation, then we'd expect to see elevated batted passes or poor pressure evasion. Yet none of that shows up in the data. Bryce was one of the lowest in the league for batted passes and his 16.9 pressure-to-sack ratio is good enough for 9th out of all QBs with 300+ dropbacks. So if you believe footwork tied to height is a meaningful issue, what metric shows that because two that would aren't doing so? This isn't about denying flaws. It's about applying fair, consistent standards because otherwise we’re not evaluating performance which means that it's not analysis taking place... it's just going off of the vibes that somebody has consciously decided on. Citing one red zone play you remember doesn't provide that consistent standard. I don't say that to dismiss your memory, but to emphasize that anecdotal evidence (especially from an avowed skeptic) shouldn’t carry more weight than consistent tape or analytics. For example, there was recently dissonance over Bryce's deep ball accuracy where it was implied that he was inaccurate throwing 20+ yards. Yet, the data and film show otherwise. And I unfortunately have to still ask since you won't directly answer: What specific metrics do you believe matter when evaluating whether a QB is top-10? You've mentioned YPA and passing yards per game, and that's fair. If that's what you're prioritizing, then let's call that your criteria but clarity matters because it prevents moving goalposts when the data doesn’t match one's expectations. I appreciate the response and hope that your holiday weekend goes well also. ❤️
    • Me too. I got other things I can do. Tie it up 2-2 and I will be back, but Im tired of watching us get swept.
