Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

I could see Jarmon as an end in the 3-4. He'd need to bulk up a bit though. Jarmon on one end, AH on the other. and Casey Hampton at NT

Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

Hampton and AH would be awesome. LB's could roam and make plays. AH with RAK on the outside and A Thomas on the other edge. Fletcher and *McClain* in the middle. one of the best front 7's in the league. hey we can all dream.

The one guy on our team that is a pefect fit for the 3-4 is Rak. He's a perenial pro-bowl type player at 3-4OLB

I think I agree with this completely.

Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

I think we'll stick with a base 4-3 but we'll mix in some 3-4 looks.

If that is true, I am all for it.

If we switch to a 3-4 whole hog, then I am worried.

Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

People say we dont have the personell for a 3-4....Dont forget we have Montgomery at 330 lbs that can play NT with Griffin & Haynesworth backing him up...

DE Jarmon, Golston, Alexander, Haynesworth...all 280 lbs(+)
ILB Fletcher, Henson, McIntosh,Blades,
OLB Orakpo, Wilson, Carter

All we need to add is an additional 3-4 OLB, through the draft

yeah, I thought about it more & you're right, there wouldn't be a wholesale personel change needed. We would need LBs as you point out, but that's a need the team went into the last draft with, and still remains today even if we stay in a 4-3. Fletch has 1 year left IMO & the strong side at least needs depth in order to give Rak more DE snaps.

I still hope that we don't go for a 3-4 base, rather Haslett mixes in some 3-4.

Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

In the poll two people have voted so far for "other." What is the other? An Okie 5-2? A wide tackle 6? A 46? Just curious.

I like the formation on NCAA the 4-2-5

I answered "other" for the 46. In a way I was joking, because it's hard to pull-off, but in another way I'd like to see us pull it off. It's a dominant run-stopping defense, which in my eyes, should be the first focus for a defense -- but you've gotta be able to stop the pass as well so you need great and fast DBs.
