How We Can Shift to a 3-4

I think Pioli will want to switch to a 3-4 because he's been drafting players to that system his whole career. There are problems though because we don't have a traditional nose tackle on the roster and our linebacking corp has absolutely no depth. I think we can have a damn good 3-4 D next year, but it is going to take a few small realistic moves and a huge deal.
1. Sign either Crowder, B Scott or Barton to play the strongside inside linebacker.
2. Sign either Canty, Olshansky or A Smith to play one of the down lineman at DE.
3. Sign Wright (NT/DE, Patriots) and M Harris (OLB, Chargers) for depth.
4. Trade Dorsey and Herb Taylor to Bengals for #6 overall pick in order to draft BJ Raji (NT, Boston College). This is the drastic move that I'm not sure would work out. By the way I want Crabtree #3 overall.
5. Draft Clint Sintom (ROLB, Virginia) at the top of the 2nd round.
6. Move McBride to a down lineman, Hali to OLB and D Johnson to LILB.
7. I think Dacus could back-up DJ, we could draft Jasper Brinkley (ILB, South Carolina) in the 6th to back-up the RILB position and I guess we have to keep Boone, Tyler and D Williams and try to fit them in the system. I think D Williams could make a decent rush outside linebacker and Boone would be fine a DE. Tyler I guess could be the 3rd string NT after Raji and Wright.
8. O yeah, hire Crennel as our D coordinatoor

No way...
we draft two picks in the Top 10. Why not just take Raji with the #3?
I think if we are moving towards a 3-4 then it will take at least two years to make the move. Besides if we wait until next year we will be able to get Pioli’s boy and our future NT in Vince Wilfork when he becomes a FA in 2010. The reports say that he feels left out in NE and its going to cost them some $.
Huh?
What reports? All that he’s told the media is that no discussions have taken place yet, which is most likely due to the Cassel situation. I highly doubt Wilfork will ever see free agency.
There was a report on NFL network I believe
They were saying something about how he feels left out. Wilfork made a comment about Cassel getting franchised and how he is happy that Cassel is getting paid and how he deserves it. I don’t think that Wilfork has came out personally and said something (like LJ) about his discontent but it was more of what the NFL Total Access people thought the sentiment was and that he is going to be asking for a lot of $ next year when he becomes a FA.
I think it is good to think through it like this...
Good post, man….
Now, will it work!? Who knows….
If you are going to make that trade for #6 I would go ahead and take Curry at 3 and put him on the outside…He will be a great LB in either system.
not a bad post
but, piolis not gonna do that. he would be destroying this whole team. what he should be doing is building off what we have and fix what is broken.
How We Can Shift to a 3-4
We shouldn’t do it.
Green Bay and Denver and who else are changing this year.
Surplus of 4-3 personnel available.
How Bout
ROLB Clay Mathews 2nd round
MLB Darry Beckwith 3rd Round
LOLB Johnson
RE Everette Brown 1st Round
RDT Dorsey
LDT Roy Miller 5 Round
LE Hali
Tank will be fine
I think Tank is a good DT who made major strides this year and I believe he will continue to grow and become a very solid DT. I also thing E. Brown would be a reach at #3 unless we trade down.
FYI, I think Tank is a better fit for NT if a 3-4 than Dorsey
3-4
Brown is a rush DE that could move to 3-4 next year.
If we change.
Mathews is a rush OLB unlike Curry.
Reach at # 3
It would seem that most defensive players in this draft are a reach at # 3.
Crabtree/Macklin for Haley? ROT anyone?
I guess I don't understand...
I can’t understand why so many people have a hard on for the switch to a 3-4 defense. The biggest factor to ANY good defense lies in personnel and not scheme. I know everyone likes what Pittsburgh, New England and Baltimore do each year but if you think it’s only because they run the 3-4, you are missing the mark because they all have good players and top notch coaches. If the coaching staff decide that’s what they are most comfortable with here I can accept the change but to do it “just because” is foolish. We have the personnel to run a 4-3 and it would take MUCH less effort to make it a good defense using the people we already have and sprinkling in some upgrades than it would be to do a complete overhaul. I’m sure someone out there will disagree with me and I welcome the dialogue but I simply don’t get it…
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

I agree kcguy
Why fight against the rest of the league for limited talent.
Take what the idiots are throwing away.
Plus who knows what the best defense against a spread offense is yet.
I still Like
1. Everette Brown
2. Clay Mathews
3. Darry Beckwith
4. Inside OL
5. Roy Miller
6. Franz Joseph
A 3-4 nosetackle
Is the hardest thing to find. If he’s any good.
Green Bay, Denver, and many other teams want one.
There are two in this years draft.
Raji is the best looking 3-4 NT in the draft IMO.
Maybe someone has a different opionion on who would be better. Even so, is he worth the #3 pick? Is making the jump really worth the risk? Man. I say if we move to 3-4 we do it over a couple years and do it the right way. Let’s build a team that can compete this year rather than sacrifice another year for the sake of massive overhaul. I say it’s smarter to work with what we have and improve on it.
Vae Victis!
