In his "Must do list" for the upcoming season, Cooley says he wants the Skins to transition to a 4-3 D because our personnel is more suited for it:

-Kerrigan and Galette are better with their hands in the dirt (and Kerrigan can't cover).
-He wants Zach Brown our WLB and Ryan Anderson to be our SLB with Foster (or Compton) at MLB.
-He doesn't like to have different guys for the 4-2 nickel and for the few snap you play as a 3-4.
-We don't have a true NT and it's not easy to find.

It's time to switch, been long enough

Amen Cooley. The 3-4 has sucked here for many reasons. I totally lost it when the game was on the line against the Saints and Kerrigan is out in space trying to cover. That shit has been going on for years. Pettibone would have never asked one of his pass rushers to cover. It's so stupid on so many levels and piss poor coaching.

If I were Snyder there are two things I would tell Jay he needs to do. Get a fullback and 86 the 3-4. Do those two things and you can keep your damn job. And please don't tell me fullbacks are extinct. Many teams still use them, Saints, Pats and Packers are some and all of them can run the ball when healthy.

I'm drinking and we haven't lost yet, its kool-aid time. We'll have a top 10 defense next year if we have only a normal amount of injuries. We find a legitimate starter across from Swearinger and we have an excellent secondary.

I think Nicholson can be that guy

Until he can stay on field, we need someone there. He has skills, but availability is most important.

Damn, Allen and Matt Ioninnininininniddis would be AWESOME next to each other in a 4-3.

This makes sense because the organization refuses to find a Nose Tackle...but insists on running a 3-4. Pretty fucking retarded, but hey, that's Bruce & Co.

Same organization offered 17 million per year to Cousins...Cousins team countered with 19 per year and Bruce said no.

That alone could cost the team 15-16 million against the cap next year if tagged.


People say fire Jay which is dumb...we all should be saying Fire Bruce loud and clear.

This. Remember when we fired Vinny and we were all like "YESSS! BRUCE ALLEN!" Did NOT realize what a schmuck this guy was going to be.

Couldn't agree more. The type of players needed for a 4-3 are much easier to find.

Everytime Kerrigan drops into coverage an angel loses its wings.

Just switch so we don’t have to hear about it anymore. Then in a few years people will want to switch back. Rinse and repeat.

haha this was true when G williams and Blache had the reigns - ppl were cyring about the bend but dont break and wanted an aggressive 3-4 scheme... i agree that we dont have the players needed and we would be better suited for 4-3 = but in the end it is LITERALLY coming down to creativity and scheme, which ive been watching all year flop but also have flashes of "well ok, thats was a nice blitz or nice stunt - good call greg" - but they are WAY too few and far between... ppl trhinking about the 4-3 ... could be better .... BUT .... do you guys see how many time we actually line up in the 4-3 front? ..... A SHIT TON. Almost i'd be willing to bet 80% of the time. No bullshit. So im kind of wondering now..... would it really make that much of an impact or difference? Trust, we line up with 4 DL nearly every friggin play.

Talent over scheme any day. What killed our front this year was losing Allen and Matt I’s broken hand. Those two injuries had a ripple effect across the D.

agreed, but tons of other teams get creative especially through injuries - and greg has been very underwhelming IMO in that area. I've seen GLIMPSES, not even flashes, but they flee fast.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Agreed. I also think losing Foster was a bigger blow than most of us thought.
