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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
