[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I do like the image of Johnathan Allen and Matt Ionnadis next to each other in a 4-3 set, but I think we will end up as a quote unquote 3-4 base team. I want to see Ryan Anderson as an ILB, not an outside one

Also both of our free agent Dlineman disappointments McClain and McGee both came from a 4-3 alignment. Maybe their play improves as well?

I honestly think they both just suck. No idea what they saw in those two

Well when I saw we gave 25 million to McGee...someone Id never heard of...I was pretty pissed. Maybe he can pick it up.

Meanwhile, calais campbell is probably gonna be defensive player of the year.

lol no not even close. McClain and McGee combined cost the same as Campbell.

I still would rather have Campbell.

Figured as much and.100% agree. Theyre nothing but bodies.

They needed bodies that came cheap. Reading their career stats when they were first signed, I was like just sign an UFA or two. Thing is this roster is so deficient due to years of mismanagement and botched draft choices, that it will take an entire new regime to right the ship, and it won't happen overnight. Snyder is a dumbass!!!!!!!!

Anderson would be a much better fit at ilb, he can't rush at all against an NFL tackle.

Well I guess technically he would still be called an outside LB in a 4-3, you wouldn't line him up as your Mike. But it's a completely different position than an OLB in a 3-4.

To me that's also an advantage of the 4-3: you have 3 LBs behind the line of scrimmage.

In the 3-4 we only have 2.
And when we say we already play most of our snaps in a 4-3, it's false: we play a lot of snaps in a 4-2/nickel. Even when we have 4 guys in a 3 points stand, we only have 2 LBs behind that.

Having, for say, Zach Brown (WLB), Mason Foster (MLB) and Ryan Anderson (SLB) behind Galette(/Smith), Ioannidis, Allen and Kerrigan would make us a lot stronger against the run, wouldn't it ?
