With our current roster are going to run more 3-4?

Fox DE

Gross-Marks DE

Shaq ILB

Perriman ILB

Burns OLB

I think we will run all schemes depending on opposition.  We will have a very fast, athletic D.  Look for us to mix it up between 4-3, 3-4, and 3-5.

Yes, a strength of this staff is that they do not live and die with one way of doing things (on either side of the ball). Adjustments are made dependent on personnel, opponent, etc. I am excited about what the future holds once all the pieces are in place.

Unless you have all superstars, any decent QB can beat you when they know what your scheme is on defense and who's covering who. But when you can disguise coverages buy having guys who can play multiple ways and positions, you tilt the scale towards the defense by keeping the offense (QB) guessing. And that extra second of hesitation is why you have a good pass rush.

Gross-Matos is undersized to play 3-4 5 tech.

 

That's the problem with our stupid roster. Burns is too small for 4-3 5 tech and Matos is too small for 3-4

Why the hell can't we have 2 6'6 285lb 5s that can run 4.6?

Fng Washington has them.

Do what?

We signed a LBer that has a terrible injury history. Pretending he is going to be available is just fantasy. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/P/PerrDe00.htm

If he contributes great! Just don't rely on him being available or building a D around him.

Roy should be the NT. Fox will probably be an OLB. 

Nah my friend, Fox is a 3, or a 5 tech on the DL. Burns, and Reddick as the OLB's in an Odd front, Matos has experience in a 2pt stance, then add in Haynes / Miller / Luvu as depth on the edge of the front 7.

Honestly, they've got a lot to prove that we can put together a good defense, much less a great one. 

First year, coaching gets a pass.

Second year, we need to see a defensive identity emerge, something besides "do what you want to but leave us alone!"

We were one of the worst defenses in the league last season with our stats being just a bit polished by that shut out of a broken down and dejected Detroit squad.

    • You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.
    • Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.
    • AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
