Denver switching to a 3-4 defense
We hear Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels’ announcement that the team would transition to a 3-4 defense was welcome news to Broncos DEs Jarvis Moss and Tim Crowder, who were the team’s top two picks in the 2007 draft. Moss and Crowder struggled to get playing time last season, and both looked extremely disappointing in limited duty. Moss is expected to become a “stand-up” defender in the new scheme, where he should be a better fit, and Crowder appears more suited for a role as a 3-4 end.

I think it's pretty clear the NE guys are strongly attached to the 3-4. I'd be very surprised if we don't hire a 3-4 guy as DC.

I would not mind it. I think DJ would be better in a 3-4. Add that with the acquisition of Suggs, and you have a foundation for success. I wonder if Tamba could stand up and be successful.

Isn't his contract year coming next fall? If he can't get fired up for that and make drastic improvement then there truly is no hope for him.
But then that would tell you what the guy is all about.

DJ can work in a 4-3, but RARELY gets used during blitzes. When he did, it worked awesomely.

maybe DJ could ....... but it would be a new skill if he is an outside LB in a 3-4 he would also have to defend the run as a DE which is another "new skill" he would have to show. just sayin'

I figured that was a given once Mike Nolan was hired there.

Now the Raiders will be the only team in the West that doesn't run the 3-4.

I doubt we will switch to the 3-4. Pioli is too smart to realize that Dorsey is the key to our defense and he isnt a 3-4 player.
