I think we are fortunate to have a coach that has run both but how would it look based on our roster

I think your question is a little premature. i believe he said we would have some 3-4 looks. That is........ if we can excute it properly. If we can't then I doubt very seriously we will run it. I just don't think he's the type of coach who will attempt to stuff a round peg in a square hole.

I've thought about this and IMO it actually makes Nick Fairley MORE valuable to us if we draft him. I still don't think we should draft him but he looks like he has the strength to play the 3-4 DE and also the strength/quickness to play the 4-3 DT. We would have to find a true NT to fill the gaps in those situations. Don't get me wrong...I am completely against drafting Fairley at #1 overall but for those in the Fairley camp, he would be versatile on the line in a combo defense.

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
