Run the 3-4 Anybody?

[franklinhimself]

I think Blache is a great old school coach, and there is a lot to consider, but last year he said he'd be done after this year.

I don't think I would love anything more than for the FO to hire a really agressive up and coming D-coordinator to switch the front 7 to a 3-4. We have the personnel I think.
Orakpo- who's playing so far from his natural position as a 4-3 SAM linebacker
Jarmon- pass rusher
Carter
McIntosh
Fletcher
then for D-line: Haynesworth at NT, then you have Griffin, Alexander, Montgomery and Golston.

What are your thoughts? Who are potential candidates?

It's just something I thought about while sitting on my ass watching this G-Tech- Miami game.

This was debated before, but it was before we got Haynesworth, I'll be curious to see what the debate would look like now that we have a big NT. The Packers seem to have made a good transition to the 3-4. I'm sure realistically any transition would happen in the offseason.

So do you think Miami is back? Or are GTech and FSU not that good?

miami is definitely back. maybe not as a national title contender but they are going to be very good. its either them or us (VT) for the ACC this year imo.

carter was a very average 3-4 lb in san fran. jarmon is not a linebacker in a 3-4.

I don't think we have the personel for it. We don't have a pure NT, and we don't have 3-4 ends. We might be OK at LB though.

Even with AH? I mean when we just had Griff I could see that, but AH is huge. Granted, we would need more depth at NT b/c Griff wouldn't be a good NT.

Miami's BACK!

Besides that though- we could acquire some depth for where we might b weak in terms of 3-4 personnel, but I think it's really possible. Yes, GB looks like they've done it successfully.

and if Haynesworth isn't a pure NT then i dunno who is.

[SFREDSKIN]

Why? Not enough LB's on the team and 4-3 is what the Skins D is built around.

We're far from having the appropriate personnel to run a 3-4 defense. Even assuming big Al could make the transition is a stretch. That said there's much more we can do schematically to improve on our 4-3 base.

Best case scenario...Spags gets ripped apart as an HC and comes in to be our DC. Ok i don't know if that's legit but certainly there's gotta be someone who can "get more" from our guys on defense.

TAMPERING! TAMPERING! Actually I'd be willing to give up a pick to get him.

Uhhh not sure if you're serious. No way Williams would ever work for Snyder again. But more than that I think they've completely turned the d over to him in NO...by next year he'll have that group in the top 10 and the Saints a legit contender for the SB. Mark it dude

I wouldn't necessarily say that

My God Williams would have to be the most self-deprecating person on the planet to come back to an owner/FO that orchestrated one of the most absurd smear campaigns against him I can remember in professional football. I mean if he did that I would lose all respect for him.

...I still hold the belief that no great coach will work for Snyder any time soon with the possible exception of Shanahan who 1) has always been about the money and 2) is probably well past his prime coaching days. Hell i wouldn't work for Snyder and I effing luv the Redskins.
