REPORT: Panthers returning to a 4-3 defense from a 3-4, which Ron Rivera changed to - in part - at the urging of owner David Tepper

Sooooo, this is year three in his five year plan?!?

Gotcha Tepper! Win time. You will be held accountable big boy.

Anyone have access to The Athletic?  should be a fascinating read 

All it says is that there was the impression from player's that coaches weren't happy with the switch to the 3-4 while Tepper's folks denied he made any particular pushes.

More of a clickbait headline to hold us over while free agency goes on across the league.

So what happens to Brian Burns and others who are strictly 3-4 LBs?

Burns can play in both schemes.. He has since HS.. Miller can as well.. Hayes is the person in trouble..

Burns got bullied in run game. He’s 249lbs and very lean going against 320lbs guys.

He was a fuging rookie.. They all get bullied early in their career it's called going against grown men.. He will get bigger and better.. Ppl need to stop making generalizations off of 1 year.. Especially rookie years...

He was absolutely dominated when playing in the 4-3 at 250. We will need to trade him for whatever we can get since Jerry Jones I mean David Tepper is calling the shots.

He bulked up to 250. He a rush end for the 3-4.

[WOW!!]

Some of you are dumb.. Jason Taylor played 15 years at DE at 244 pounds...

He bulked up to 250. That's not the size to play 4-3 DE. He would have to gain 30 more lbs.

Did you stop watching part way through the year. Burns had plenty of snaps as a 43 DE last year

Most play at 275 so they don't get washed in the run game. Keep dreaming.

No he did not. He was replaced every snap. There was a article about the whole situation.
