Panthers moving to a 3-4??? Says McDerm

[Lumps]

maybe in a few years when our 3-4 picks up AE will be ready to be smitty 2.0...i see what hurneys cookin

[frash.exe]

Actually switching to a 3-4 might make mcdermott a better play caller.

The biggest challenge is finding the right personnel to run it.

[nagai]

You guys are way overreacting. He said he'll play MORE 3-4; he's not committing to a complete transformation -.-

[Miaoww]

we no longer have the LB's for a 3-4, we would have an even worse defense than we have now. If we still had TD and Beason, we could own with a 3-4

Who would play OLB? Davis? Anderson? Both too small.

Only way it's going to work is if Hardy/Johnson is adept at playing standing up. They're both athletic enough, but as I'm sure most of you are aware it's all about technique at this level - they're all athletic.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

If there is one thing Rivera knows, it is defense. So I will trust his judgement. We are going to suck either way with the team personnel we have. If he thinks this will give us a better chance to win I will support him.

Never underestimate the run away train which is the Huddle..

It's mostly the blind leading the deaf who are holding the hand of the feeble minded.

[Ruff]

I say we need to play the 52!

Make it happen!

[beckersteen]

In the future; I'm taking it as not this season.

Probably wouldn't be bad for us. Just got to find that NT and keep the talent flowing in LB. We usually have good LB core when healthy. Plus I know he likes to blitz a lot anyway.

[Kevin Greene]

What are the advantages of a 3-4?

How about 7 of the last 11 teams to win the Super Bowl ran a 3-4 defense.

[frash.exe]

here is the best front 7 i can come up with using our current roster in our 3-4 package. I'm going by the bill parcells' 3-4 that Rivera ran in SD

WOLB-Applewhite WILB-Anderson SILB-Connor SOLB-Johnson

RDE-Hardy NT-Ron Fields LDE-McClain

what it would look like without the injuries this year

WOLB-Davis WILB-Beason SILB-Anderson SOLB-Johnson

RDE-Hardy NT-Edwards LDE-McClain

Outside in a 3-4 are DE that's too small for a 4-3. Thats Woodley

That is NOT Johnson. He's a full grown DE fit for 4-3 defenses

Johnson and Woodley are listed with in 5 pounds of each other. Woodley weighs close 270. Lmao. Also Mario Williams???? Lmao...

As to the other OLB, Anderson and davis are the same size as Pitt's other OLB.

People here. SMH I never said the skill sets fit, but size wise they are comparable to with in 5 pounds.

If you've ever played a sport, you'd realize how asinine you're sounding right now.

Pitt having one backup OLB in the 240's doesn't make Anderson or Davis 3-4 outside linebackers.

They simply aren't.

I've played sports, lmao. What's the difference between 6-2 237 and 6-2 241? How about 6-2 270 or 6-2 266? That's the differences between Anderson/Harrison and Johnson/Woodley. I'm talking about OLB's here, not the whole scheme right now.

How about Mario Williams 6-6 300 pounds. Wait, how about instead of talking poo.... actually attack what the hell I said?
