We saw them together this year. Vilma is now the square peg. He is in serious decline anyhow and I got the feeling coach is gonna get rid of all "Bounty" players. He wants to distance our team from that entire mess.

I think Lofton is a great candidate for ILB in a 3-4. Wilson can also play ILB.

Bye Bye Vilma and Smith.

Exciting times my friends, exciting times.

Think we can get any decent trades for Vilma and Smith?

I was reading about the difference between a one-gap 3-4 and a two-gap 3-4.

You are right that Bunkley wouldn't be suited for a two-gap 3-4 but would be a really good fit in a one-gap 3-4.

I won't pretend I knew the difference before watching this and reading about it on another site. Here's a link that explains it.

Coach Grantham Explains One-Gap vs. Two-Gap in the 3-4 - YouTube

The Texans run a one-gap 3-4 if anyone is interested. Apparently our current personnel are nicely suited for a one-gap 3-4.

that was my first instinct.......although he failed to make Dallas into an elite D. With some pretty elite talent.

He didn't have Sean looking over his shoulder there either...

I don't see us having the players for a 3-4. I want the Dome Patrol as much as we all do but I don't see that happening..
