Um, what about dropping into coverage? That's a pretty HUGE responsibility.

MOST 4-3 defensive ends have extremely difficulty making that transition because of that particular responsibility.

Man, you truly are clueless.

You can go back and look... I never bashed the guy. I think both he and McBride will have solid careers, but I don't think McBride fit here.

I also think that Boone has another couple years or productivity.

you must have missed my "among other responsibilities" part of the post you quoted..

was it the ink? Sorry, Ill try to remember to buy more crayons next time Im at the store just for you snookums.

are you saying Hali has been poor at dropping back in coverage?

I remember him not "taking the cheese" against Rivers and the running back. By "taking the cheese" I meant come off his coverage responsibility to go for the qb, allowing an easy dump for a medium gain....but other than that I havent really paid too much attention to it so, he may be bad at it.

neg rep me all you want boss chief you are still a moran

I only returned the favor!

moran

What round was James Harrison drafted in?

he played at kent state though c'mon
and he was cut like 4 times by the steelers
and went to nfl europe
and got cut there

So you're implying that every undrafted free agent linebacker becomes a franchise player and Pro Bowler?

You really are a ****ing idiot.

No, moron.

I am saying that pass rushing OLB's are easier to find than good pass rushing DE's. That is why many teams go to it.

And, with a good front three, you don't have to have total studs at the linebacking level.

If you look at the Steelers, they don't have many great linebackers taken in the first round. Actually, if you look historically at 3-4 defenses, the linebackers aren't typically taken at the top of the draft.

But, don't let the facts get in the way of your moronic argument about how Jackson could be the best 5 tech ever and still be a wasted pick.

I didn't even like the pick that much, and still realize that is about as obtuse as you can be, and proves how little you really know about the game.

The point is that teams typically find good OLB's in a 3-4 easier than good DE's in a 4-3. The point is that with a good front three, you don't have to have 'outstanding' OLB's as Dane thinks.

Really, ****o?

Actually, the opposite is true: Most teams, including the NE Patriots, are moving away from the 3-4 and to the 4-3.

You're a ****ing dickless moron.

You're a ****ing idiot of EPIC proportions.

Why don't you go ahead and tell us exactly how many teams in the NFL are currently running the 3-4.

****ing JACKASS.

Dane sure has a way of making friends on here. :)
