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

[jarhead]

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.

Hmmm I would posit that it's more of a "McGlover" vs "McClover" type situation. "Kasey" is still pronounced the same as "Kasay", but "Riveria" wouldn't sound the same as "Rivera".

Geez people it's already been leaked so much it's not a secret.

Yes he is and Everette Brown will be playing the Nose.

I know Brown has been something of a disappointment at DE, but this position switch might be just what he needs.

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

How would EBrown translate to a NT?

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.
