Could burns not play 4-3 olb?

Fwiw in coverage drills

He looked better than any of the LB's including Devin White at the combine.

 

Also during the draft.  One of the ESPN talking heads who were announcing the draft said his best fit was that 4-3 OLB that can rush the edge, ala Anthony Barr in Minnesota

Rather him be a 43 LB than a 43 DE.

Put him on the DL and offense will be running his way all day. Keep him at LB and he'll be a stud. Guys actually not too bad in coverage and he'd be a great Blitzer.

I just dont know man.  We've only seen bits of his pro game between injuries and Ron's disdain.

The 3-4 just needs DL depth. Injuries ravaged our hopes, and having an offense that can't score made it worse. 

We were always going to be a couple seasons from consistent with a scheme change. 

The sacks were there, the run fits will improve with the DL being filled out.

They asked Roman Harper on WFNZ the other day if with a new coach we go back to 4-3. He told them it would be harder and take longer to go back to 4-3 that we will stay with 3-4. He said Luke would be fine if they worked on middle of dline.

Pretty much what ive said all along

1. 3-4 hasnt been the problem this year, the DL has.  We can go back to a 4-3.  But would still have the same results with this DL.

2. We've converted all our edge guys to 3-4 guys.  Only ones under contract for next year are Burns, Christian Miller, and Haynes.

 

So to go back to a 4-3.  We'd still have to overhaul the interior DL and STILL have ti go back and overhaul the edge.  Staying in the 3-4 just requires fixing the interior DL

Maybe if we had made the full switch but we didn't.  2-3 guys were suited for the 3-4 specifically(Burns, Irvin, Poe maybe another?) The rest are familiar with the 4-3 and could switch back with no problems.  KK and McCoy at DT would be nice in the 4-3.  Our Ends would suck but hopefully Burns can rush from the LB spot?  We have to get Luke back in his MLB where hes most effective.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
