1. can anyone simply define what you are looking for in your front 7 here?

2. if we do not draft anyone, what is our week 1 starting lineup looking like and why a guy might thrive there/or not? (i've really only followed 4-3 defense because we have primarily been 4-3, with exception of 1 season from what I can remember.)

3. bonus questions where would a Campbell or Sanders fit in 3-4 and where would it move someone to benefit us?

Best diagram guess Base 3-4:

                 Woods - Bell

Horn                                      Jackson

     Burns - Shaq - Chinn - Luvu  

         Brown - Tuttle - Williams

 

For nickel, you can have near identical personnel, Chinn & Luvu's assignments change.  Shaq & Luvu are the LBs.  Chinn big nickel.  Burns is standing strong side near the line. 

 

or another look....(if Chinn plays robber or creeps up to the box, disguise looks)

 

                 Chinn - Bell

Horn                                      Jackson

     Burns - Shaq - Luvu - Haynes (or rookie?)

         Brown - Tuttle - Williams

 

Woods is the guy I'd be willing to sit to bring more flexibility.

I dont believe your nickel assumption is correct. It would be helpful to add that Rowe would come on the field, horn would slide to nickel and Shaq would most likely leave the field. Also, Ervero ran a lot of 6 db 1lb. So i'd expect in our defense as well. Luckily, Chinn is a DB that can play LB.

One thing is true, there's a lot we can do.  The objective in my assumption was how we maximize our best players, making sure Chinn & Luvu are on the field the bulk of the time.  

What's your guess at our nickel package? That's the one to configure as it's going to.be the majority looks.

Right now it’s looking like no matter what they’ll be light inside and easy to run on. After the draft we’ll have a better idea but shaq and chinn can’t take on guards all game 

Exactly. Rolling with what we have atm, this is what we look like:

LOLB: Yetur Gross- Matos - Amare Barno 
LILB: Shaq Thompson - Brandon Smith 
RILB: Frankie Luvu - Kamu Grugier-Hill - Arron Mosby 
ROLB: Brian Burns - Marquis Haynes 

Theres also the possibility of Henry Anderson lining up at OLB. Chinn is backing up at safety and only brought in on special packages. 

Typical 3-4 ILBs are usually around 230-250lbs, sometimes close to 260, and the OLBs are around the same size as 4-3 DEs. Chinn is neither.

I agree, not saying he is per se, I'm just having a hard time placing him.  Do note, he is 6'3 225 so it's not like he's some shrimp out there.  And he said he's bulking more so he could be pressing towards 230.  But that does not mean he's instantly a 3-4 ILB.  But if Navarro Bowman could make it work with Patrick Willis in a Fangio scheme....just saying...

What you're saying is more in line with my second diagram, just YGM in lieu of Haynes.

I am having a little bit of a hard time with people (outside pundits) talking about us in terms of having a good defense. 

We have no real idea what we will get, I don't expect it to be good this year, honestly. Traditionally, this sort of reshuffle takes you a step back before there will be a step forward.

I think a trade for a WR would be best for Chinn and us. Especially if we can get a starting caliber WR.

 

Chinn is a great talent but you have to have a defined role for him. 3-4 is not a scheme you will get the best out of him. 

If Chinn gains around 10 lbs he could fill a Kam Chancellor type role. We'll see what happens though.

I think they’ll be able to rush the passer with a lot of success…but if the opponent lines up and runs it down their throat not much resistance there. Hopefully the draft and late camp cuts fills out the middle of the D

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I can tell you've done your research on him from this post, as I had part of it in that response at first but removed it as for whatever reason I just felt my explanation of what I was trying to say felt clunky and wasn't getting my point across. It's the varying his speeds during routes part. I actually think that's why he had so many people saying he didn't seem like he had urgency in his route running, because he does THAT so well, and I think sometimes people see it and think he's loafing it out there but he's really just playing mind games with the DB's a lot of the time. He was soooooo good at those "I'm going to fake only running a 5-7 yard slant to sit in the hole but half as second before I know the QB is going to throw me the ball I'm going to take off at full speed" type of routes. We loved running those with him, he'd just run a slow short slant while the action is to the other side of the field through a play action or first read to the opposite side, and then he'd just take off on just enough of an angle to give him space on the defender and catch the pass in stride so he never slows down and gets those long strides moving. And yes, he's great at improvising.  Part of it is that him and our QB have played together since the 8th grade, but it's also something Bryce excels at so I think the two of them will build chemistry on those fast.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different. Because again, I'm not assuming major injuries or games missed when I'm putting expectations out there for the season, I'm assuming good health.  If those other 3 WRs combine to miss a lot of time, then yes, he needs to get to 1k in that scenario.
