4-3 or 3-4

Has that been addressed by Rhule?

 

He's been a 4-3 guy most of his career, but they ran a lot of 3-3 fronts at Baylor.

Did you know that Matt Rhule's best record in his first year with a team is 2-10? And at both of his previous gigs, they lost more than the team had the year before. Lawrence or Fields, take your pick in 2021.

 

I'm warmer to using more 3-4 fronts with Luke gone.

 

Snow will probably run multiple stuff. He talked to the media yesterday. He kept it pretty close to the vest, which I certainly appreciate. Play played a lot of sets with eight guys in a two point stance is at Baylor. He seems like more of a 34 guy honestly.

 

If we do go 3-4 we better not half-ass it and try some sort of hybrid shit like Ron did.

 

I guess most teams are some sort of hybrid, but yes, ideally you'd be one thing primarily with an occasional change up. In 2019 I couldn't pick up any sort of pattern. It seems like Ron was just doing his crappy impression of the Patriots.

 

His attempt at emulating NE with average or less players and seemingly no sense of direction was folly. I personally hope Rhule goes with a 4-3. This isn’t college, and your opponents won’t be undersized middle tier players.

 

3-4 would be a way to go cheap at LB. You could grab run specialist in the second wave free agency and then just play more dime in passing situations.

 

Who are our front seven in a 3-4? You think Butler will be back as a DE or are they bringing McCoy back instead? We need a good 3-tech to line up opposite Short if we're going to go to 3-4. OLBs are already here though.

I like Shaq but have no idea who the other MLB will be either.

 

Uncertainty at LB for sure. Butler is a dud, as was Poe, imho. Short will need impactful help opposite him, and that is lacking right now.
