I remeber as a kid hearing how the West Coast offense was a gimmick... and now how "spread" qbs can't survive in the NFL... wake up and realize that the NFL is gonna change whether you are up to it or not.....

If you want an athlete at a position, the best athletes in any 3-4 are the OLBs, not the 3-4 DE's. 3-4 DE is for a guy who weighs 290 lbs who can't rush the passer but is good against the run. He occupies blockers while the real threats get to the quarterback.
And Spread QBs haven't done anything in the NFL. What is this illustrious list of Spread QBs?
You know what I remember hearing as a kid? All about the Run N' Shoot. I also remember the Wildcat from just this year. I guess the pistol and the A-11 must be up next.
And Seymour was drafted as a 4-3 DT. No team in the last 10 years has taken a 3-4 end in the top 10. The only one I can think of that even took one in the top 15 was Ty Warren at 13.
Would you have taken Larry Johnson and split him out wide in 2004, or made Tony a Jason Dunn style tight end? Of course not, just like no one would argue that we should have moved Roaf to RG, and why Denver wouldn't have Champ Bailey playing nothing but Tampa 2 soft coverage. Maybe the Lions should make Calvin Johnson a possession receiver, and the Bears can move Urlacher to the strong side, while putting Tommie Harris at LDE. Why would you take your most talented players and put them in less important positions?
