I couldn't find it but like someone else said it might be somewhere closer to the front of this thread, but Schefter recently again said that during the off season Shanahan was observing both of those teams cause he wants to install a 3-4 defense. He went on to say he and Slowick are interested in installing either a 3-4 or 3-4 hybrid. He then went on to mention that both were either looking into or talking with Zimmer about being apart of their team. I think it's obvious they couldn't talk to him until the season is over or unless they get permission to talk to him. So it's only rumors right now.

but I'll add that I keep hearing that Schefter and Shanahan are close and talk all the time. If there is info coming out from him its almost golden cause no one else is getting anything out of Shanahan.

I think our players would fit better with a hybrid offense than a straight 3-4. Base 4-3 (AC, AH, Grif, Rak on DL w/ Rocky, Fletch and Blades with a 3-3-5 nickel (AH, Griffen and Jarmon on line and Rak, Fletcher and Rocky at LB). It would be a different way to rotate players and it would be difficult for offenses to prepare for.
