Nolan sucks as a DC too.

I dunno about that he was the Ravens DC when they were pretty good..

If you play 3-4 you basically make Dorsey a useless player who has no purpose.

It's pretty easy to coordinate a defense with Ray Lewis, Chris McAllister, and a huge space eater in the middle.

Nolan is a lot like Herm. He tried to fit round pegs in square holes for 4 years in SF.

Nolan was a receivers coach prior to becoming a DC.

Marvin Lewis was who I was thinking of.

I actually think we have a few very good pieces in place to switch to a 4-3, a 3-4 means we've wasted $50,000,000 on Glenn Dorsey.

Anyway, I'm with you on being stupid to switch to a 3-4.

Eh I like some of San Frans players, I mean they did draft Patrick Willis who's basically a superstar.

I'd love to have him, maybe Nick Athan can work up a story about us needing to go after him in the off-season.

I think they have very good players, but he was trying to play a 3-4 defense without a space eating DT, and very weak rush backers.

Why not put Willis in the 4-3? Willis is easily the best linebacker in the NFL. They have Nate Clements as well.

By using a 4-3, you are masking the deficiency of Franklin, Sopoagua and Balmer.

He never really played to their strength.

Maybe we can hire the Billick/Fassel/Nolan triad of power!

Manny Lawson blowing out his knee really hurt them he was suppose to be their big time rush backer.
