Can we please...

Go back to 4-3 next year. That is all.

We have been running mostly 4-3 looks today and getting dominated all the same..

Without the personnel. Don’t forget the caveat.

Yeah, 50 yrds rushing allowed with < 6 min in the 1st qtr...

We have such a mish mash of defensive talent right now that no matter what defensive scheme we choose to run there's significant roster building to do in order to get there.

That is fair.

3-4, 4-3, forty three, 4 foot 3 don't matter

 

Run d sucks 

[Mr. Scot]

We spent the offseason retooling for a defensive scheme that we've effectively stopped using.

I guess the results are predictable.

Scheme not the problem 

We can go back to a 4-3 right now, next week, next year.  

Until you fix the DL, this defense is going to continue to suck

[onmyown]

Better idea: can we fully invest in either defense and implement it correctly with properly suited players for the scheme instead of being all over the fuging place

[onmyown]

And for the love of god find a way to let keuchly roam what kind of dumbass shcheme sticks a player like Luke in a gap with oline man lol

You know who you can thank for this.

Doesn't matter if we run a 4-3 or 3-4 now when we literally have like 1 1/2 healthy defensive linemen.

I do think we need to go back to a 4-3 next year. That should solve our LB problems because both Luke and Shaq are much better in a 4-3. McCoy and KK in the middle and Mario and Burns on the edge. Then when we get to obvious passing downs we can start subbing in pass rushers with Miller, Haynes, etc.

If we go back to a 4-3, I don't think we need to add much on defense IF we get lucky and stay healthy. Another run stopper DE would be nice in case Burns is too small to play DE all downs. Maybe another OLB if our other LB options can't get the job done.
