During his press conference, someone asked if he would stay a 3-4 or change to a 4-3. He said he has experience in both, and said they have not made a decision yet. He will go through the draft and FA and get players, and then AFTER that they will see what system to use.

IMO, this shows one of his main flaws, the whole putting square pegs into a circle hole. Instead of signing/drafting players that will fit the system he wants to run, he is going to try and make players fit, and that leads to problems.

Also, they gave him alot of trouble about "3 yards and a cloud of dust", and boring football.

Looks like the media did their research! lol

I was watching it as well... a few things came across my attention.. one being I'm glad he got another shot and think he'll do well there. I'm not sold he'll have the same success as he did here at Carolina.. I think he had a better team here then he does in Denver..

You have to keep in mind that what he was saying was less about fitting square pegs in round holes than saying just the right thing to keep the players happy while they figure out where they go from here..

They could bring in a 3-4 DC.. at the end of the day, like he explained, whether 34 or 43 it's all about filling spaces on the field..

he doesn't want to say he's switching to a 43 and risk losing the locker room... he danced around the Champ Bailey question as well..

"The quarterback situation is better than the one -- some of the ones -- that I've been at."

Owned.

Damn. He played us, joke would be on him if Clausen turns into a good QB. And he had the option to start BSP the rest of the Season, did he? No.

“The quarterback situation is better than the one — some of the ones — that I’ve been at,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Jimmy Clausen!)

Fox also likes the wideouts: “This may be as good a corps as I’ve been with,” Fox said. (Translation: Thanks Dwayne Jarrett!)

:lol:

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
