Anyone else excited about the potential of a 4-3?

[jesuscakes]

I think a 4-3 would be better for us now that we have both Traylor and Wilkinson. No one would be able to run up the middle on us just like when Chester and Bowens were in their prime. We could then put Taylor and Carter on the ends with Thomas and Crowder tearing it up at LB. We could also sub in Newman and Roth on long third downs to get pressure/sacks on the QB and we would be freaking amazing.

If we did that then the only question mark on defense would be our newly aquired secondary.

What ever Capers wants. Seems like the 4-3 would be better but whatever keeps our pass rush in the QB's face incase our secondary still sucks. BTW Welcome.

yeah i sought of have always thought that our defensive line stocks were much better than our linebacking corps and has clearly much more depth. to be honest i was a little puzzled when we changed to the 3-4 with really 2 of the linebacking positions undecided with i suppose zach and channing the only two penciled in starters depending on wether JT changes his position to linebacker and david bowens to. but with the d-line like u said we got traylor and big daddy we also have zgonina, holliday, roth, carter and then evans and vickerson. but also depending on where bowens and taylor are playing we have them to, man we have a damn fine defensive line depth wise.

Well Newman is a pass rush master it seems looking at his stats and some film. I very much like our team so far especially with all of the good offseason moves. Now if we land TJ Duckett or Stephen Davis to secure our running game then we are golden for the playoffs because I will not pretend for a minute that Ronnie Brown will make it the whole season without an injury. This kind of stuff happens unforunately and it will happen to Ronnie for 1 to 2 games most likely and without a significant backup we are up sh*ts creek without a paddle so to speak.

Zgonina and Holliday are the definition of aging and mediocre at this point in their careers though in my eyes. I mean they are good for backups but they definitely aren't starting material that's why the Rams and Chiefs let them go.

I think that Traylor and Wilkinson still can get the job at their ages which is impressive. I remember the first tackle I saw Traylor had last year and he pretty much engulfed Mike Anderson lol.

He is a big boy and I hope he makes it especially since a decent back don't get paid 35 mill. He needs to carry our load for years and protect himself. Newman was one of my favs up here in Tarheel country along with Hodge but I don't know if they are going to use them much down there.

Personally I think our line is stronger then our Lb unit, but I do think Taylor does a good job as an OLB. I like the 4-3 , when you have the kind of talent that we do up front you want utilize them as much as possible. IMO.

im only talking about them being back-ups and i dont know about u but i am damn comfortable having the both of them backing up big daddy and keith traylor and sharing the snaps with them they are very very solid depth player.

I thought you meant you wanted DL by committee and I disagreed. I like the guys and know they will get tired because of how massive they are so depth is definitely a luxury at the DL position.

and plus if they are 3 and out..how tired can they get??? Well thats the theory at least:D

i am sure the best players will be on the field. wether it be 4-3 or 3-4 or 2-5 or
5-2 they will mix it up to confuse the offenses.

Picture this............zone dog, Wilks drops back in coverage and INT's a ball intended for Curtis Martin. He rumbles for 75 yards (takes about 4 days) for a TD. LOL

That would require the Big Daddy and the Trailor playing every down. Neither can handle that, and will be much better suited rotating for each other at the NT.

However, our goal line defense will be BEEFY!!

Picture this, Curtis Martin's knee is bone on bone and he will never play football again unfortunately.

Also picture this, Wilkinson and Traylor on the front line weighing 672 lbs between the two of them completely dwarfing every back in the league and constantly squashing anyone who tries to run up the gut on us and scaring them into running towards the outside where Zach Thomas and Crowder patiently await the RB so they can pounce like ninjas completely laying out the opposition.
