I get a chubby thinking about Ryan Anderson - Ruben Foster - Zach Brown starting in a 4-3.

Yes it would, granted Brown changes his attitude. Supposedly Brown claims he playing witha torn oblique, maybe that explains his shitty play this year.

Well, lets start with R Foster learning to focus and more importantly, making smarter life decisions.

Z Brown was great the first half of the season, but his play lagged the second half...like most the defense. He was injured, I don't know what that injury was exactly.

Ive been happy with Brown's play since he has been here.

Torn oblique I think. On one hand it could be a serious reason why he wasn't as good this year. On the other hand, it could be a weak excuse. And on the third hand, who do we hold accountable for a linebacker known for his athleticism (not his brains) trying to play through a major injury that would compromise his effectiveness? Jesus fuck'n christ.

Mmmmh... the more I'm thinking about this idea, the more I'm liking it.
Don't forget to get SDH in the mix, the way he improved this season he could be a starter next year!

I think chances are good we switch to a 4-3 with the personnel we have, but browns not coming back unless it’s under a new deal. He has a 9M cap hit next year and none of its guaranteed. based his performance, he’s almost certain to be cut.

meh, I think its a possibility, but not likely. I think its more attitude driven not performance driven if he isn't here. We would take a dead cap hit though...think around 3 mil.

In the latest Redskins Talk Podcast, Keim mentioned that a switch to the 4-3 is a possibility this year. I think this can help the team given the personnel they have and it would make Preston Smith somewhat expendable.

From what was reported before, it seems like the defense was in a 4-3 quite a bit of time anyway, so it makes sense. But what doesn't make sense is, if you're pushing a 3-4 base defense, why not draft/sign free agents who fit the bill? That part doesn't make sense?

They play a lot of nickle defense, which is a little difference than base 4-3 from what I understand (Nickle D has two smaller edge rushers, whereas in 4-3 base, you have one DE rusher and one larger run stuffing DE on the other side).

If they go base 4-3, they'd have Ionnidis, Allen, Payne, and Kerrigan in the d-line. They could have Ryan Anderson (SLB), Shaun Dion Hamilton (MLB), and R. Foster (WLB) as Linebackers. I think going base 4-3 would allow them to use Ionnidis and Ryan Anderson more often.

I think with Reuben Foster it's this simple. You know he has the athletic ability that Mason Foster lacks. You know Mason Foster is a severe liability in coverage, especially when it comes to keeping up with the faster tight ends. Ergo you must upgrade your athleticism at LB. Reuben, for all his problems, off the field and in 2018 with a drop off in play, at least gives you a fighting chance.

With Mason Foster you were dead before the ship even sank.

I still don't understand the obsession over 3-4 vs 4-3. We flex between the two schemes. I don't care which we run, we need a defensive coordinator who's better at disguising and being aggressively unpredictable.

Almost like a Grilliams, so to speak (he's the last coordinator I felt who was effective at disguising schemes).

The only reason I brought it up is because Keim and JP Findlay said that some players have brought this up in conversations. I think Keim agrees with your sentiments, but he did say he feel that given the current personnel, it now makes sense to have this discussion.

Of course, this is a moot point until we know who's going to be the (hopefully) new defensive coordinator.

I don't like Allen, Payne and Ionnidas playing 2 gaps. They are our best defensive players and they are supposed to watch 2 gaps rather than get up field as their first responsibility.

Kerrigan and Smith are terrible in coverage and should never ever be dropped.

With our personnel, I think a 4-3 or single gap 3-4 would be better than the current 2 gap.

This is one of the points Cooley made, saying he thinks RK in particular is way more efficient when playing one gap than 2. We play base defense 30 to 40% of snaps but that is still a fair share of snaps, so I don't think it is that un-significant.
