How will Rivera's defense be different?

[rayzor]

he's not switching to a 3-4 and before san diego he'd been a 4-3 guy. he went with what they had in san diego and made it work better.

we'll be running a good bit of 3-4 (as well as other formations) but we'll still be a 4-3 team.

Yea, deleted my post b/c I just found that audio where he said he's committed to the 4-3 'round here..

LOL

the good thing about rivera's defense is that you don't need stars. you just need players who go where they are supposed to go and do it quickly. mcdermott has a great mind, his problem in philly (other than the unfortunate role of being the guy who took johnson's place) was a lack of discipline in his scheming and play calling, which rivera will bring in spades.

thats my take anyway.

I dont know about that.There will be alot of pressure on these dbs to maintain coverage especially with safety blitzs. If we do not get pressure on the qb looks to be bad news.Maybe we can address that in FA or a blown blitz = TD

Chicago, Philly, and San Diego

no stars

all people out of the stands

Urlacher, Briggs, Harris, Vasher, Brown, Williams, Merriman, Cromartie......all Pro Bowlers under Rivera

just b/c one season Rivera didn't have Pro Bowlers on his squad doesn't mean he can just take random guys and make them good. I think Rivera's best D's were in Chicago and he flat out had great talent.

don't need stars to make it respectable is what i meant...but whatever.

true, and overall I think he has just as much talent to play with here as in prior stops.

I think Fiz is in competetion for the most annoying poster here with TRD. At least now that King Taharqa can shut the hell up about his racism posts. :cool:
