Bill Parcells historically drafts LB, DE & DB in the first round. Miami's offense is as bad as their defense - i/m/o he'll grab the best defensive player or trade up for that player. Parcells selected Drew Bledsoe with the # 1 pick. My guess -- he had a decent defense at the time or he had the players to plug in the line.
Miami will run a 3-4 base defense this season along with three other AFC East teams. Parcells will be looking for LB's, and this year's draft is deep with offensive tackles. He'll probably take one in the second round. Parcell's will also need a strong NT. Bill's all about defense and he'll build his team around his pupil, Bill Belichick.
I like the 4-3 defense. The 4-3 has a bigger edge over a 3-4. One huge disadvantage of a 3-4 def is finding a strong NT. Very hard to do. Besides, there are very few pure NT's around. Some teams look for a bigger DT player to develop. And that takes on average three years. Another disadvantage -- Many NT's run out of steam in the 4th quarter. The front seven in the 3-4 are bigger then the players in a 4-3. But if the 3-4 LBs can't get to the QB and apply pressure, the WR's are off and running. Did you notice how much bigger the Patriots defensive line was compared to the Giants line? A lot of good that did them. They all got busted in the mouth anyway. Thank God...
i hope it all makes sense. i did not have time to read it -- i gotta go to bed and get up in a few... i hope i'm in the right thread
