You couldn't really expect him to set the edge or have you been watching a different #41 play and try to shed blockers to make open field tackles on runners than I have?!


At the moment (before any acquisitions) the front 7 3-4 personnel would in all likelihood be:

Bunkley/Hicks as the NT
Jordan and Johnson as the DEs
Lofton and Hawthorne as the ILBs
Wilson and Galette as the OLBs

So why is everyone assuming that Smith will be gone because of the switch. His strong point is against the run. Wouldn't that make him ideal for a 3-4 DE?

I think he is too small for the position and this late in his career I doubt he can take on double teams consistently in order to free up the OLB to rush the passer.

Smith is gone because we can find better ways to spend his 10 mil cap hit this year

Most 3-4 DE's are much taller than Smith with longer arms. He was even a tad short for a 4-3 DE.

How can we go to a 3 - 4? We could barely field a 4 - 3!

I know this Could backfire big. But in the 4-3 if you break the first line of defense nobody else is there , which may be why payton decided he rather have a stronger second line of defense ... Everyones passing anyways
