Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
MHR University - Modern 3-4 Defense Systems - Mile High Report
The Ultimate Guide to NFL Defense Apparently, there are three variations, them being the Fairbanks-Bullough, the Phillips, and the Lebeau one. Since Haslett worked in Pittsburgh before, I guess this "hybrid" D we're implementing will have some of the Lebeau variant, but we won't get to see what the hell he is implementing until preseason. Rak is going to be the X factor OLB though, since we all know that the weak side OLB is usually the "star sack accumulator in the 3-4, with guys like James Harrison, Ware, and Dumervil being just a few prime examples(and don't forget Jason Taylor lolololol. He came two years too early.).

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
Good stuff SCP! Hard to say how well we'll run the 3-4 with the personell we have, but I'm expecting a more aggressive defense by far.

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
Posted this in the offseason reports thread but it fits here too. An aggressive defense is what I've been waiting for, one that creates sacks and turnovers. Maybe we'll finally get one.

Carter is such a beast physically, I didn't have any doubts that he COULD succeed in a 3-4 at LB...it's just a matter of it he wanted to.

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
I'd actually be kind of surprised if Orakpo doesn't stay on the strong side at OLB. A move to weakside means a position and side switch for four players: Alexander, Wilson, Orakpo, Carter, and probably Jarmon who will be asked to learn both sides. If he stays on the strong (left) side and locks down that position for the next three to four years, then we can use a bunch of different players at ROLB, because that's an easier position to fill using our current roster and free agency.
Of course, the good thing about making that transition now is that you put your best against their best right away, and hope you can win your matchups across the board.

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
Should be Fletch and Rocky on the inside. Orakpo and Carter? on the outside.

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
Makes me wonder if Big Al is going to be in the mix of 3 down linemen!

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
Rocky and the Perry Riley dude are candidates for the position.

Re: Good info on the 3-4 and its variants
I'm intrigued the most by Perry among the rest of our rookie draft picks, he could be a star on defense for us in a few years
