LB Coach Mike Nolan Hired by Cowboys

It would be kind of sad to switch to a 3-4 now after it took us so damn long to build a quality 4-3 defense

Makes sense. Now that we've got the 4-3 personnel, Sean will want to shake things up...

After all, we got rid of Akiem Hicks so we could go to a 3-4 defense, what's Onyemata going to do for us?

(sarcasm)

That's part of the problem.

Sean P needs to stop meddling with the defense.

It's possible that SP deciding to go to a 3-4 defense just to "shake things up" was what helped contribute to those 7-9 finishes. It was a disaster and it didn't work for us.

Damn

Idk if Nolan was the complete reason but it seemed like our defense completely turned the corner when we hired him.

Good news is we have the pieces in place: Davis-Anzalone-Klein. We have a promising young guy in Kaden Elliss and quality veteran backup in Craig Robertson. We just need one more piece for Anzalone injury insurance. Kiko was that guy, but a torn ACL will keep him sidelined if not released.

I just wish we could count on Anzalone to play a full season. Didn't he have injury issues in college?

Yes sir. A lot.

That was the knock on Alex coming out of Florida. Superior athlete with speed and quickness however durability was his main issue. So far, most scouting reports were correct.

My hope is that we address LB spot during free agency. Demario needs an assassin next to him who can get to those sidelines (watch the Niners LB on Sat vs MN) at the blink of an eye.
