Rumor about our DTs

[chef17]

This is more of how i would see our 3-4 lineup looking

Brayton - Fua - McClain

Brown - Conner - Harris - Norwood

Many will say "But TD and Beason are not on the field." Exactly the 3-4 looks will allow the other LB's opportunity to make plays and show their true value. Also putting CJ and Hardy on the field on 3-4 looks is a case of round peg/ square hole. Norwood and Brown on the other hand have the speed to play OLB.

If our coaches come out with this alignment and it isn't because of injuries they should be fired immediately. Like JOAT, your best 11 should be on the field.

[Captain Obvious]

6-2 STACK MONSTER!!!

if we can find a DE unit that comprises 4 guys (for example CJ, Brayton, Hardy, FA) we could move Brown to 4-3 SLB. we're going to be asking our backers to blitz much more.

[Mr. Scot]

now im not very knowledgable on the subject, just heard through the grapevine that since we got the DTs Rivera wanted- we would now officially be moving to the 3-4 and putting E.Brown as an OLB.. get his hand out of the dirt and let him play to his strengths..

just what i heard- what do you think?

Honestly this one doesn't even qualify as a rumor. It's just fan speculation.

There's no basis to it.

3-4 looks? Yes. Full switch? No.

[Ashor]

I can confirm that the Panthers will not be moving into a 3-4. they will have looks but will be a 4-3 defense similar to what was run in Chicago.

Tampa 2?

[Mr. Scot]

Tampa 2?

Jim Johnson style 4-3, with some principles lifted from the old Ryan 46 and the Tampa 2 as well.

Think "zone blitz" run from a 4-3 alignment.

[Snake]

E.Brown,Norwood, and Taylor if he makes it will all be used at the Jack position when in 3-4 looks. Also don't be surprised to see Hardy there some as well. I think we can keep a very fresh D switching between sets.

[SorthNarolina]

With the drafting of Hogan I heard we've moving to a 4-2-5 defense.

TCU did that full time and clemson did some of it too. That's a sexy defense. My god. So much speed and blitz versatility.

[Jackofalltrades]

But you're selling out against the pass and vulnerable against the run, particularly big backs ie, Turner, Blount and now Ingram.

Having the nickel as your base is risky.

[carpanfan96]

uhhhhh, wow another 3-4 thread

The tream simply doesn't have the personal to run it full time.

[Panthercougar68]

Were switching to a base 1-7, the Green Bay psycho package.

[stirs]

Free agency could easily dictate which way we go.

If we want to go with the Jim Johnson blitzing 4-3, then resign Anderson and T Davis and Charles Johnson

If 3-4, let these guys go, pick up Alan Branch or Gabe Watson from AZ to play nose, or shoot the moon and get Ngata for nose. Then play your two rookies at 5 gap along with Brayton. Norwood, Taylor and Brown at OLB, Conner and Beason at ILB.

We have the money now to go either way

[Lout]

CJ is not a 3-4 DE. If anything, he would be a 34 OLB. /thread

just what i heard- what do you think?

CJ - Fua - McClain

T.Davis - Conner - Beason - E.Brown

THAT would be incredible. I've been waiting for this day since we drafted Brown. He will be a sack machine as an OLB.
