K-Gun10 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 how bout the bills move back to a 3-4 if we keep fletcher which i think we need to, we have the lbs for it in fletch, ellison,crowell,and spikes and this way we can rotate our subpar dts in and out.

nichebiche Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 that would be a great idea had we just named Wade Phillips as coach and we hadn't just spent the past year converting the roster to the Tampa-2 Def system. yes, switch gears after a year -- i guess not all ideas are good ones....

tennesseeboy Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Why don't we draft a non-subpar DT instead? Okoye comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the fact that we have exactly zero defensive linemen suitable to play a traditional 3-4, I think it's a great idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie_wan Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Other than the fact that we have exactly zero defensive linemen suitable to play a traditional 3-4, I think it's a great idea... and our LBs are too small as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 It's a myth that you need lesser linemen to play a 3-4 than you do for a 4-3. It's just the opposite. You still need basically the same performance from your offensive line, but now they have to do it with three people. That's why successful 3-4 teams often use DTs at defensive end: take the Patriots, who start Seymour, Warren, and Wilfork on the front line. ALL defensive tackles. With the extra linebacker, you gain flexibility, not relief for the line. If you can't do it with two DTs, you're sure as hell not gonna with one.

This is all part of his initiation on the board. If he does his homework and comes back with a stronger post, ready to document his case I feel he will be given the acceptance that he seeks. I'm rooting for him. We are all family here at TBD after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Eggo's the same way; all three of their starting linemen weigh in over the 300lb mark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Other than the fact that we have exactly zero defensive linemen suitable to play a traditional 3-4, I think it's a great idea...

In space no one can hear Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I disagree I think Denney could play DE in a 3-4. Your right. He would be better as a 3-4 end. Especially with C.
