I know traditionally that your ilb in a 3-4 is bigger than deebo and more of a thumper and that your olbs are typically 6'5'' guys who can do it all really. If we make this switch tho I'd love to see us being in zaven collins somehow. That’s the old school 3-4 with those huge blood and guts defenses. Nobody really runs that as much anymore. Even the hardcore 3-4 guys, they play more with a shade. And their personnel is built more for adaptability and speed. The edge is where we’re going to have to uncover a gem to really get this thing going... but that’s been every year here. youngbloodz, JDaveG, Ergo Proxy and 8 others 9 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grady showed that he could be productive as a 3-4 end when we ran it a few times later in the season and I think Davidson could thrive in it PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This could mean Falcons draft a hybrid OLB/DE in one of the early rounds. Wonder who the DL and OLB coaches will be? Do you think they'll bring in a pass rushing specialized coach?

Not the way I’d have like to have seen is go, but I’m cautiously optimistic. This is that “hook up” hire I don’t like and the man was retired. We shall see but I’m not a fan.

That would be the most logical thing. I mean I’m not ageist but dude is 71 and has retired twice. I’d think Smitty-2 would have some young Turk in mind to come on and apprentice. Just now, Knight of God said: We'll see what happens right? That’s all we can do at this point, bro. 😆 I don’t hate Pees (cue the jokes) but he’s not a miracle worker. And just switching to a 3-4 ain’t magic. But you know me and you been trying to get that one across for years. AUTiger7222 and Knight of God 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
