Is Mike McCarthy forcing Quinn to run Dan Nolans 31st ranked defense again?

While listening to Quinn's press conference he mentioned that the defense will play 3-4 with D-Law standing up but then says majority of time it will be 4 man when it's nickel. Is he forcing defense to play 3-4 to keep injury prone Neal on the field to get a new contract?

This is a 4 man defense period if you want some flex then switch the DE out that can play OLB like Gregory, Anae, D-Law. If you want extra coverage take one of the LB who can't cover but if you have LB that can cover then it's pointless to go to nickel or dime.

Please God do not give us another season of Mike Nolans's defense.

Dak Attack--- if we get a sniff they are trying to tmplement the worst defense in NFL last year from Nolan...we will have to huddle and form a "black ops" takedown...cuz none of that crap better occur

also they need to put a defense that is more easily reactionary and not overly intellectual...we have to be fast on defense....our players were not as bad as they played last year..it was the crummy Nolan who the crummy McCarthey signed off on...changing the defense totally to a very diffcult one on Zoom....the most stupid design by any team in 2020....we got to play fast and reactionary...anything less we will get hammered

In my opinion...
Gregory would be better at OLB than he is at DE. So would Anae, but DLaw will suck at it. But we all know Jerry is not going to allow his 20 million dollar man sit on the sidelines.

Having three DT's on the field would help our run defense, though. So I kind of welcome the thought of a 3-4.

The Seattle 4-3 under is essentially a 3-4 type of alignment. It's similar to what Kiffin and Ron ran here.

cyber bob---- hope your right man....hope you still have good reason to believe.....McCarthey is a liar who will say anything at anytime to appear good...any coach who would sign off on his buddies defense last year that is way more difficult
and different then what had been played and no time to practice but learn it on Zoom cannot be trusted....our guys had no idea what they were suppose to do because the coaching was horrible on top of it...this 6 foot 4 330 1-tech we got in 4th wont make it out of training camp....look at his stats at Kentucky....his biggest year was 18 tackles most were 9 and he played every game...but maybe i am all washed up and need to be thrown in the trash heap with Nolan?

His job will be to tie up 2 oline and keep lb clean.....his agent will hate his stat line also, but if our run d improves ....a lot will be because of him and Urban.

LMAO, the Joneses aren't even letting McCarthy speak to Quinn. He's lucky Quinn doesn't have his job.

Idk about that it was McCarthy in the draft room that was dapping up Jerry, Stephen & McClay!

If it’s Quinn then I don’t want any of that ATL B.S. give me what was in Seattle which was always 4-3 with four man front. They just replaced one of the LBs with DB & put in Irvin who is a LB that could rush. Also they made Bennett play wide so he can cover the flats for RB & Screens or stop read option.
