We heard this week, that Nolan will still continue to use a 4 man front base, but they will be more of a hybrid scheme. You can bet that we will see some 3-4 formations as well.

Does the team have the right defensive personnel to play multiple schemes?

-Clearly they need a true, run plugging NT.
-Outside of Crawford, they are little to choose from who can play the 3-4 DE position.

2 Fa's that fit a hybrid scheme:

-Arik Armstead SFO (has played DE in the 3-4, his breakout season has been at DE. Has the ability to kick inside. Armstead could replace Quinn at RE, with the flexibility to play either scheme.

-Vic Beasley ATL (he is more of a 3-4 OLB, but has experience playing linebacker in the 4-3 scheme. Had a few down seasons after his 15.5 sack year. The Cowboys could play him in many different spots in any scheme.

If we can get a beast big ugly defensive nose tackle his defense will be totally different

Heck, just doing something different is worth a couple wins at least in the first year.

I hope, Nolan with his experience in both schemes....can add in similar looks to what N.E. Belchek has been giving, especially against for example ...vrs Rams in super bowl. Crowd los, confuse young system qb as to what's happening....

Quinn might be just as expensive.

Any pass rusher is gonna be expensive
The key is getting the one that fits the best
Then get some DT’s
I wouldn’t be surprised is Crawford isn’t kept at a lower price and Covington too
Jones is the star DT out there but a guy who I think would be a good fit is Reader and probably much cheaper

Beasley is a big no for me. Unless he comes cheap

Keep an eye DT, Linval Joseph. Rumor has is it he will be a cap release for the Vikings. 6’4 330.

Armstead is interesting.........he has 19 career sacks over 5 years, 10 this season. So 9 sacks over 4 years.......

Love Armstead as a player, but I cant see SF not doing all they can to keep him....he may even be tagged.

If allowed to go he is getting a Lawrence type deal.

Quinn isnt going to get a lesser deal than either of those two. I'm hoping he liked it here and is maybe tired of moving around.

Armstead would be my #1 wish in all of UFA tho. Just not gonna happen for one reason or another

Man he’s going to screw someone over big time lol. These type of guys always do. Nothing even against him it just seems it happens.

I'm guessing the addition of Nick Bosa freed him up big time.

I like his size and motor though, and so will someone else. He will get large money, probably in SF.

That would be a great fit. I think they spend big on one FA DT but not two, and they don't have to overpay for a NT because Antwuan Woods is an above average run defender at a low price. He doesn't help with a pass rush but he is a perfectly acceptable option if you end up spending your money elsewhere. I'd rather have the low cost option at 1T than at CB or TE.

I agree. Joseph is due nearly 13 million for the next three years and is 31.

Hopefully we could get him for around 4 years, 35-40 million and not have a terribly high cap hit.

Joseph is an animal on the inside
