Does anyone think we Riveria may transition to a 3-4 def

Watching the NFL network showcasing the Steeler and Packers defense it make me wonder if Riveria will not try to implement the 3-4 in the future?

If so do you think we will see any picks in the draft that may facilitate that?

It took Capers 2 years taking the 20th rated defense to a top 5 defense.It seems to me that it is the better option for pressuring the QB.What talent do we have that could work in the 3-4 and what talent will we need other than NT?

I stand by my statement that "Riveria" is the new "Kasey"

Rivera has stated something to the effect of using different defenses in different situations. I think he'll coach to our players' strengths. We have the personnel to run basic 3-4 schemes, but I think we're missing a few pieces to run those zone blitz packages.

I think with the CBA and the lack of time to evaluate talent it will be next year at the earliest.I do get the sense that this is a scheme he prefers and gives us the best shot at applying qb pressure w/o giving up the big play.

What I would be curious knowing is which existing players could transition and the talent we would need to aquire.Assuming we draft defense with our 1 pick could it affect who we pick or could Fairley transition to a 3-4

I think what he would like to do is use both in some type of a conversion defense like what the patriots use to play. Its really up to Rivera what will be best for the team i know Mcdermott is DC but Rivera will play a huge role in the Defense you cant bet everything on that scheme an play calling wise.But more then likely he will stay 4-3 for right now. But i believe we will change it later. It wouldnt be so hard the reason why is because we will use alot of it next year but what Rivera want is when he makes the switch he wants to have all the pieces in order. If we go defense in the draft who we select will let you know on what we will likely do more then likely.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
