I wouldn't be surprised if Hill is either cut or only his last year in Dallas.I like the player. Think he is a good 3T prospect, I just felt that with Hill and Galimore we were ok at the 3 and wanted a 1T instead. But getting better against the run is always welcome.
He was drafted to play DE in a 3-4. He's Marcus Spears. DLAW and Gregory become OLB's.
Legit question here, I keep seeing new references to them playing a 3/4 instead of the 4/3 I was expecting. Is this new thought just based on the draft picks or did I miss something?
It's a whole lot of misconstruing what was actually said. We arent running a 3-4. Quinn said the base alignment will "look like a 3-4" but finished "But more often than not, most teams – the nickel package, which teams play close to 60% or 70% of the time, are more of the four down men."Legit question here, I keep seeing new references to them playing a 3/4 instead of the 4/3 I was expecting.

then are we transitioning to a 3-4 defense? if that's the case, that may spell end of Lawrence and perhaps after this year he will be released. he struggled rushing from standup position, so not sure if he is a fit. we tried with Ellis as well and failed....they are conditioned and their muscle memory is to rush from hands on the ground...now trying to teach an old dog new tricks.... gregory might be different and he maybe able to transition to an OLB, given his size, plus he rushed standing up a lot over the past few years....I like the player.

Actually, Ellis had a pretty good year as a 3/4 LB. I think that was his only year of double digit sacks.then are we transitioning to a 3-4 defense? if that's the case, that may spell end of Lawrence and perhaps after this year he will be released. he struggled rushing from standup position, so not sure if he is a fit. we tried with Ellis as well and failed....they are conditioned and their muscle memory is to rush from hands on the ground...now trying to teach an old dog new tricks.... gregory might be different and he maybe able to transition to an OLB, given his size, plus he rushed standing up a lot over the past few years....

Even early downs it's what Seattle runs. Quinn's words were it looks like a 3-4.WE aren't running a 3-4 Defense, just on the early downs.
IMO, "more like a 3-4" refers to the class of Seattle Seahawks derived defenses that have 2 2gappers. It's unlikely to be a classic Bill Parcells style 3-4, which has 3 2 gappers.
