In all honesty, now is a perfect time to run a Tampa 2 system, or even a base 4-3, because so many people are moving to a 3-4 that the available talent for the system, which was never plentiful, is further diluted.

There are Will backers in this draft like Jonathan Casillas that you could get in round 4 that are an absolutely perfect fit for a T2 scheme, and almost all of the DT prospects, Raji, Hood, Jerry, etc, fit better in a 4-3 than a 3-4. It's a great year for zone corners, and most of the DEs are a bit light but fast off the edge and reasonably long (Orakpo, Maybin, English).

Great point. Not much we can do about it now though.

No shit. ROFL

I mean, what we need for that is a premier pass rushing DE and an OLB. What we need for the 3-4 is a premier pass rushing OLB, a NT, to decide whether or not Hali can be a stand up OLB, to decide whether or not Dorsey can fit at 5 tech, another ILB... Anyone care to explain?

this. and I hope the 3-4 rumors are just that. I hope we stick with the hybrid which is more like the 4-3 under than the 3-4.

“Aaron just likes to do his part,” his mother, Chris Curry, writes in a text message.

She’s referring to Aaron’s decision last week to invite a child with leukemia to follow him to New York this weekend, the boy’s expenses paid, and sit with Curry while the 23-year-old’s name is called to hold up a jersey and punch his ticket to collect upward of $35 million from an NFL team. Sure enough, Curry passed the character test.

Oh, and Ted Bundy was so charming.

It's basic moneyball.

You use the system that will give you the best value for your team and your draft picks.

Right now, 4-3 players are undervalued and 3-4 players are overvalued. Half of the teams in the top 10 of D last year played a 4-3. It has nothing to do with the scheme and everything to do with the players.

The reason the T2 is out of favor has nothing to do with the frailties of the scheme and everything to do with the fact that so many teams ran it that they diluted the talent pool to the point where you couldn't field a defense filled with good football players.

Look at the A's.

At one point, .OBP was undervalued. So you focus on that. Now, steals and D are undervalued and OBP is overvalued, so you focus on that area, especially when you have finite resources (as every team in a league with a hard cap does).

exploiting market inefficiencies, buh-wuh?! um moneyball was written by billy beane and was about how great billy beane is

Basically, what I'm saying is that Aaron Curry is most likely a serial killer.
