Chiefs What defense do you prefer/enjoy watching more: 43 or 34?

Frankie · 01-29-2009, 02:48 PM

There seems to be a near total conviction here that Pioli will switch us to 34. I think it's at best a 50/50 possibility. I want to know which D you prefer and WHY.

The "WHY" could be based on your logic or simply one you enjoy watching more.

The one that allows the fewest points.

/lock it up.

I like the 3-4 Dawoo lanus mother ****er!

3-4 with right people, because it can become a 40 front if you have a big a$$ LB for different looks.

Tank would need shots of HGH
Dorsey and Tamba be on crank all game
and BUY a whole new LB core

missinDThomas · 01-29-2009, 03:23 PM

BTW I came up with a good name for Dorsey during the draft.

Dorsey aka Catfish

it just fits man.

Tamba and Catfish would be the ends, as long as they had chemicals to speed them up.

I prefer 3-4. It's very effective if you have the right people for it. But same can be said with any formation?

I just like the design better. It emphasizes more on the linebackers to make plays while your downlineman job is to do the dirty work by controling gaps, taking up blockers and eating away at space.

You got more speed in that scheme imo. The utilization of speed is far greater in a 3-4 then it is in a 4-3. because you have to rush linebackers from both end positions rather then your DE's. And just as a preference, I'd rather take a linebackers speed over a DEs speed any day of the week.

It's not only the speed, but also the size coming from the downlineman. It nice blend of both speed, and size. I also think in most 3-4 in todays NFL focus a lot more on blitzing whereas 4-3 you have a lot of zone. I like an attacking and aggressive defense rather then a zone and conservative defense.

Can I just say ditto?... too late. Good post

Mr. Laz · 01-29-2009, 04:43 PM

imo you need a better defensive coordinator for a successful 3-4

you gotta have some that knows how to teach and when to blitz and more of a feel for the game.

ie the opposite of goonther

I prefer the 4-3. I can't really give a rational reason for it, I just enjoy watching it more.

**penguinz** · 01-29-2009, 04:51 PM

I prefer a 2-2-7

kstater · 01-29-2009, 04:56 PM

The one that leads to a championship.

**buddha** · 01-29-2009, 04:59 PM

Who gives a flippin crap about what formation they line up in? It's not the x's and o's, it's the Jims and the Joes...a very old saying that is 100% true.

Kansas City has had guys on their defense over the past half dozen years who wouldn't start in NFL Europe...in fact, that's where a bunch of them came from.

You need elite level talent on an NFL defense and the Chiefs are the idiots who employed William Bartee for how many years?
