Why are we still using the 3-4?
 

IMO we have decent personnel to run a 4-3 or any even front scheme.

DE: gilberry/Hali/Bailey
DT: dorsey/gregg/powe
MLB: dj/belcher/williams
OLB: houston/miller/sheffield

DJ can be played at OLB in a even scheme, since he is one of the better coverage LB's I have seen to date. Problem is our LB's dont have much size for a 3-4 scheme, and out of our 3 DL, none require a double team. I think gilberry/hali on the ends would let us rush the passer with 4, and use our more mobile LB's in coverage. Dorsey back to a 3 tech DT, with gregg/powe helps vs interior runs too. Most teams that dominate odd fronts have beastly DL, and linebackers that look like they lift weights. Our LB's look like they go to planet fitness.

Just a thought.

Will try in Madden 12 tonight, to verify lol.

please ****ing kill yourself

This. /end thread

This must be a mult.. Easily the dumbest thread ive seen in awhile...

Go tell Romeo

Wow didn't someone post this thread last year?


Yes Pat, I would like see if there is an:

The thing is yes we do run a 3-4 but we are in different fronts constantly. It really isn't right to say a team is 3-4 or 4-3 because they run so many different packages with different fronts that are a mix of both.

We are a base 3-4 team and have drafted the personel to play that front. Why would we want to change it? It would be the same as when Haley came in switching from a 4-3 to a 3-4 and not having the people to do it.

All I know is since we switched to running out of the 3-4 primarily, our defense has gotten better and better.

Well they aren't going to change NOW, after all the player aquisitions that have gone on to tailor to it.

Haley has said (First season I believe) that with all the coaches that are on staff familiar to it, including Pioli, to find the right players, it would be foolish not to.

Yep....because we're going to take DJ....who is a beast in the 3-4 and put him back into a 4-3 where he was mediocre.


And we don't run a 4-3 because Jesus ****ing hates you.

not this shit again...

great thread, bro.

Hali would go back to getting obliterated against the run in a 4-3.

He's much better on the edge.

No.

...just no.

Lets fire Crennel while we're at it. It's not like he's been ****ing amazing or anything.

Yeah the 3-4 has gotten us the best out of players that were on the brink of becoming "busts". Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, and Glenn Dorsey are all doing great in this system. During Herm's reign of 4-3 "cover 2" terror, those 3 players were much worse off.

Romeo won a championship running a 4-3 in NE before making the switch a little less than a year later...if he thought we would be better off as a 4-3, we probably would be one.

Think of the 4-3 you guys could of had if you kept Allen.

The 34defense Haley runs is the same defense Parcells ran for the Giants. It's the same one Belichick ran everywhere he's gone, including with the Giants under Parcells.

That's what they prefer, they like the odds of finding players for that system compared to paying big $ for DE's in the 43 that are rarely as good as they are paid.

They like to rush 3 and drop into zone. If they can do this 10 times a game, they usually get turnovers.

"could of"

ROFLROFLROFL

i have a better question ... why are we still seeing stupid threads bout this?

we are just now getting 3-4 personnel.

a case can be made that Hali IS a 3-4 OLB considering his success in the new system.
Houston and Sheffield ARE 3-4 OLBs.
Gregg and Power are NT's
Dorsey can play in both but he's had more success in a 3-4
DJ has had more success in a 3-4
TJax has shown a glint (cross fingers)
Bailey looks to be a 5 tech with potential

we are converted and committed to a 3-4 so just let it go.

That is quite common around here.

it comes from typing like you talk

In the heartland you say 'could of' or even 'coulda'

I type could of instead of could have all the time

:shrug:

but carry on making fun of the faider troll. :thumb:

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Is it 2009 again and nobody told me?

Think of the running game you guys "could of" had if YOU kept Allen....

At least we got Charles out of the deal. You lost your best offensive, and defensive players, and got absolutely nothing.

My God your franchise is a joke.

Yeah if it works in Madden then it should work in real life...

Jared Allen is too busy liying about walking up on 3 mountain lions sunbathing on a rock.

I think "could've" is what you're really saying. :thumb:

Kate Moss is fat.

In addition to everything else that has been mentioned the strength of the 3-4 is you can be creative with how you generate pressure and who you put into coverage. Its certainly nice to have the flexibility to be even more creative with personnel groupings by having those 4-3 sub packages while the base defense being a creative 3-4 front. Bottom line: We have a guy that is creative with his defensive scheming and knows his shit in the 3-4 why marginalize him by switching to a 4-3 base?

Because it works & its more versatile than a 4-3?

I agree. We should move to the 4-6-1
