There are also a decent amount of good DEs for a 3-4 since they in many ways are comparable to a 4-3 3-tech DT. Most skills needed for LBs and DEs are coachable if you find a good athlete. But the Nose tackle, that's the Unicorn, the holy grail, very few and far in-between. To find a guy that is upwards 340lbs who are able to take on multiple blockers, and defeat them, who are still athletic enough to push the pocket and rush the passer. That is pure DNA. You can't take the wrong body type and and coach him up and a NFL level NT are even more rare than an NFL level LT and there are probably around 50 of those in the world at any given point. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Do as Payton had done on offense and build your scheme to the personnel... If you went pure 3-4, this is where we'd be right now (sans Browner) for next season... RDE Cam Jordan, Bobby Richardson NT John Jenkins, Tyeler Davison, Ashaad Mabry (PS) LDE Kevin Williams*, Kaleb Eulls ROLB Kasim Edebali, Davis Tull WLB Dannell Ellerbe, Mike Mauti MLB Stephone Anthony, Ramon Humber LOLB Hau'oli Kikaha, Obum Gwachum RCB Keenan Lewis, Kyle Wilson* FS Jairus Byrd, Rafael Bush* SS Kenny Vaccaro, Jamarca Sanford* LCB Delvin Breaux, Brian Dixon, P.J. Williams *Unrestricted Free Agents So your needs are depth/improvement on the defensive line, safety, and inside linebacker... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
