Correct me if I'm wrong, but Rivera ran a 3-4 in both Chicago and SD. Why is he not moving to that here? What players that we want to keep could not adapt and what type of players do we need in addition to our keepers on D? Come on huddler X's and O's geniuses, dazzle me with your vast knowledge.

as stated, he ran a 4-3 in chicago. took over and kept wade phillips' 3-4 defense in san diego. philly also had the 4-3. we definitely aren't switching to a 3-4. rivera and mcdermott have said so. we just go into a 3-4 package at times to make things interesting. if you want to talk about it though...

DE: hardy, mcclain, neblett?

NT: edwards, fua, kearse

OLB: cj, keiser, applewhite, norwood

ILB: beason, anderson, TD

our 4-3 personnel is pretty obvious. doesn't need to be rebuilt at all.

I poo you not...less than 15 minutes ago I was talking to someone at work about the mysterious lack of "omg 3-4 gaiz" threads on the huddle lately.

Thank you for breaking the seal so I can look forward to another offseason full of people trying to justify cramming our personnel into a 3-4.

I'm not suggesting that I think we are going to switch, but I was wondering if any of you had any insight as to how difficult of a transition it would be considering we only have about 3 players worth keeping on that side of the ball. Sorry, we can go back to discussing all black uniforms now.

i'm just going to jump on the wagon and say you are wrong.

he's a 4-3 guy.

it won't be rebuilt.

we will show a good number of 3-4 looks among a lot of other looks, but we are a 4-3 base D. considering who we have that won't likely change any time soon.

It would be a terrible transition. Whether we, as fans, think we have three players worth keeping or not what we HAVE are players that were brought here with the idea of playing 4-3 (remember Rivera even said early on he was not changing our base defense to a 3-4). Accepting as common sense that we will not be able to draft / sign through FA an entire 3-4 defense it would be no better than we have this year more than likely (with the exception of returning injured players) and would likely be far worse.

Unless someone thinks that some of the players who are not good enough for this D would be good enough if we moved to a 3-4 then you would have players who were bad this year being bad next year too only with a totally different defense to really fug poo up.

It wont happen. The transition to change schemes takes a while. If he wanted to go 3-4 this would have been the year to do it. Remember Rivera only has a four year deal and he can't waste any time changing schemes. The 4-3 defense we run is very similar to a 3-4 defense. The difference in them is the personnel of 3 down line to 4 down line or 4 linebackers to 3 linebackers. This year we wanted to do a lot of zone blitizing but we just don't have the right personnel to do so. If we could find an really good CB who can shutdown half the field we can blitz a little bit more then normal and maybe force turnovers.

Giving big contracts last year indicated to me we are staying in a 4-3.The bigger question is how are we going to put more pressure on the qb with what we have and what we can draft ?I know we had injuries at DT and lb but the blitzs we brought were in my opinion ineffective. I dont think our problems will be fixed with a rookie cb.Thoughts?

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
