How To Fix The Front 7

[Dirtybird#11]

Obviously our front 7 is broken.... We have to fix it if we want to contend. So with that in mind who would y'all want to wreck chaos in opposing teams backfields come Thursday?

[trudweathers]

I chose other because we do not, currently, have players to fix the front 7.

[Jigglypuff]

I chose other because what down is it again?

[FalconBlood23]

Front 4 would have to be

Goodman, Hageman, Soliai, Mass

Shembo, Warr

That's the best combo I can think of. Also we don't have a set defense. We substitute like crazy so it depends on the down too.

Realistically i agree with Trud. That being said out of these option this is what i picked.

1: Other. Mass-Tyson-Sol-Kroy should be our base starters. Swap out Tyson and Sol for Goodman and Peters/Hageman on passing downs.

2: Picked Worr-Bartu. Shembo's gaining on me but Bartu's still over him at this point.

[Osiruz]

Easier answer is to fire the Smittiot and set this defense on fire.

[Guest facelessman07]

I didn't see fire Smitty as an option???

[Osiruz]

Agreed,

I'm tired of picking my poison when clearly the h.c is the problem.

[WOR]

I would like for us to go to a true 4-3 for a little while.

Babs, Soliai, Hagemen, Goodman one running downs.

Mass, Babs, Hageman, Goodman or Osi on passing downs.

And Shmebo, Wor, and Bartu as the LBs.

Im getting tired of the 4-2-5 we run occasionally

[Jigglypuff]

I would put Biermann at ILB

[FalconFan13]

other

Babs, Jackson, Soliai, and Goodman

If you can run on that then **** you win thats the best 4 run defenders we got and Babs + Goodman imo have been getting more pressure than anyone so far even at their bigger sizes.

[AndySG]

Jackson, Babs, Soliai and Goodman on rushing downs with Shembo and Worrilow if we are using an extra corner.

Osi, Hageman, Peters and Maponga on passing downs with Bartu and Biermann.

Full rotation!

[Hardyfalcon]

Can we get Michael Sam as a situational pass rusher?

And insert Nate Stupar?

[since68andcounting]

You're entire poll is flawed because we shouldn't be running nickel when we can't stop the run. Your title is front 7 but all your selections only total 6 guys

[dmite]

Front 7? Only 6 are listed...

[Deep2Julio]

The answer is to play more than two linebackers. Our personnel consists of 3-4 players. not 4-2-5. ****, even 3-3-5 would be an improvement.

[pzummo]

I'm going to get flamed for this, but here it goes anyway. Our front 4 on defense is perfectly fine. We are 13th in allowed yards per carry. Meanwhile, we have the 4th MOST rushing attempts against us. That's actually pretty impressive. Typically, if a defense has a large number of attempts against them, they give up higher yards per carry because they get winded.

The problem, IMHO, has one solution. We need to start faster on offense. Through 2 games, we have been playing from behind the entire game. That's not because of the defense, it's because the offense has not started fast. If we start playing with a lead, we will get sacks, interceptions, less rushing attempts against us, and less time on the field for our defense. If we continue playing from behind, opposing offenses will be less predictable, will run more trying to control the clock, and that slows down what little passrush we have.

[trubirdfan4life]

we need 3 LBs on the field worrilow, bartu and shembo or worrilow bartu and bierman

[Reginald VelJohnson]

This is a public poll. Other members will be able to see which options you chose

I can't deal with that kind of pressure. Not voting.

[4.5 underdogs]

STEP 1: Get rid of Biermann.

No Babineaux, but you'd leave Biermann in?

Like this

[RING OF HONOR]

Mass....Hage....Soliai....Goodman

Shembo.....Wor.....Bart

Now Please.....

Babs is a liability in run defense. Has been since last year. And he's not exactly a passrushing fiend either. Kroy's not good but he's the best we've got for his position.

[GritsPittz]

I'd go with Umenyiora, soliai, jackson, mass. LB Shembo, Bartu, Warrillow. Replace Lowery with a Nickel CB.
