I can't believe people are so eager to slam square pegs in round holes.

Actually, I said Hali would be better in a 3-4. And I was right.

Oh, if we are running a Cover 2....**** NO!!

I'm advocating a scheme more like that of my most hated team.

I just want DJ near the ball. He's a ball hawk

The guys getting the most buzz right now are Kiffin and Jauron. Both are strict 4-3 guys and of course Kiffin = Tampa 2.

Yep. That why putting him the Mike in a Tampa 2 is a bad idea.

Put him in a defense that requires absolute discipline and he goes right back to what he was.

So can he be a stud MLB in a 4-3? Can Houston be an OLB in a 4-3? Set Houston over Hali on the left side, DJ in the middle. Poe pit and Dorsey or powe the rest of he line and we need another OLB for 4-3?

Finding a better scheme to pressure the QB for one. The pass rush skills of our D-line is just painful to watch. Just playing devil's advocate.

We're not going to get that. As I've said before, we have a head coach who's been trying to re-invent a defense that was the product of a brilliant defensive coordinator with a scheme nobody's really been able to replicate. I don't like the idea of speculation about the DC coming out before we hire the GM. I want this decision to be largely driven by the GM.
