Not an argument JP, just wondering. Don’t you think a 3-4 with the old Dome Patrol LBs would be able to play into today’s league?

Not seen as an argument; Baun is a Rickey Jackson-type OLB and we drafted Baun running a 4-3 under, so it seemed a poor fit; Chris and I had discussed this in past threads...

But looks like Baun wants to be great in this league and unlike a moping LG who wanted to be paid like a LT, he's willing to get it done so he and the team will be great...

It's a great flip, development to his story; and now, SURPRISE, the LBers look to be a strength unit to this team...

But, yes, if you took that Dome Patrol, and put Akiem Hicks, David Onyemata, and Cam Jordan in front of them - that Defense would eat...

Agree. The Dome Patrol would translate todays game with no problem. And also agree that the LB corps is looking as good as they have in years. This whole defense can get us far.
