Re: Is Brian Orakpo career as a Redskin possibly over

If Haslett gets canned, will we go back to a 4/3. Experts say going to a 3/4 is difficult, but how difficult is it going back to a 4/3.

I'm not an expert but I have always thought the defensive was better suited to play in a 4/3.

5-2 a top the NFC North, allowing the seconds fewest point in the NFL with some crappy DB's, meaning the DLinemen are doing an awesome job. Oh yeah, no Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush.

At what point do you want to start maneuvering like the model franchises in this league? Suh isn't the missing piece, doesn't fill a need, doesn't make us a contender - we're not one move away.
The Lions have always had a good offense, with no defense to go along. I think they finally have a defense to complement their offense.

It seems that around here no one wants to get this whole concept of having both good offenses and defenses, realizing that one unit affects the other, and that the faults of one of the units will affect the other.

I don't know who would see our team this year, and think that defense is the only problem and getting an expensive defensive player will fix everything.

4/3 is definitely more plug and play and easier to find personnel from the draft.

A well built 3/4 that is clicking is a tough defense to face because the players in pass protection are never 100% sure where the pressure is coming from and the half second it takes to read and react gives the rushers a leg up.

Shanny switched to a 3/4 which required completely new personnel and did not invest on the defensive side of the ball in the draft. The cap hit hurt too.

Jarvis Jenkins was our defensive line draft pick? What did everyone expect?

I believe converting back to 4/3 is easier.

Also, because of the reality of injuries keeping players sidelined and availability through the draft having 2 types of players, (ends and tackles) makes more sense than having 3 types (nose, ends, and olb)

He can't be any worse than Orakpo in coverage. Orakpo is no Monte Coleman.

That is not a Superbowl team.
Suh doesn't make them a Superbowl team.
Suh doesn't make us a Superbowl team.
Suh hardly makes us a better team.
The goal is to get better.

Suh is used to playing an attacking three technique. He might not take kindly to, or be particularly good at, being on the nose instead.
