There was the same discussion on Jags board about switching to 3-4 instead of staying in 4-3. What do the Broncos and 49ers run?

It'll have a lot to do with our DC choice, but I think we are at least one decent good middle linebacker away from a successful 3-4 scheme. Say what you will about 1 gap, 2 gap, linemen... For the most part, if they are talented they can do the job with some coaching. But try running a 3-4 with only one decent middle linebacker and you'll be sorry. (see also: Chiefs).

This defense is built around a basic 3-4, with a few plug and play guys who are actually talented, I could see Andy Reid coming up with some crazy blitz happy 3-4 based scheme here in KC.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if he comes here, looks at our talent, and decides to mock up some 3-4 base cover 3 blitz schemes to incorporate Barry more actively in the blitz and to utilize him at his best, in my opinion, strength, which is ball hawking ability in run defense. |

odd front from the Ravens. Unlike our odd front, their DEs align in the 4-tech straight over the tackle as opposed to us which our DEs align in the 5-tech. http://blogimages.thescore.com/nfl/f...TOUNDER-11.jpg Under front from the Ravens. Weak side DE is playing the 3 tech, with a shaded NT, and the other DE playing the 4-tech. The strongside DE typically has 2-gap responsibilities. |

Putting DJ back at OLB in a 4-3 is going to kill his production.

I'd be surprised if they went back to a 4-3 right away, if at all. I don't see Johnson being nearly as effective in that type of setup. Maybe they'd switch in a couple years after making some personnel changes.

The good news is, while I don't trust Reid whatsoever with our defensive scheme, Heckert was doing a good job in Cleveland. But I'd much, much rather have Reid stay out of the defensive scheme and instead focus on hiring a DC whose scheme fits the players. Right now, that scheme has to be a 3-4, and it should be a progressive 1-gap vs. the 2-gap we play today. |

Or Hali. Or Houston. Or anybody else in the front 7. We'd have to COMPLETELY gut the front 7 to run a 4-3 next year. No thanks. |
