blah blah blah..."it's about execution...it's about the players...any defense can be effective if the players execute.." blah blah blah...yadah yadah yadah...

I hate the 3-4.

and I hate that it forces this team to choose from a smaller pool of coaches with 3-4 experience.

Who brought this 3-4 to us anyway?

Oh yeah, I ain't too fond of him either :D

OK..I feel better now.

I hate to say it but this group would do better in the 4-3, we have no true NT...

I agree.

Ware and Spencer off the edge. Rat and Tank would flourish as 4-3 DT's. Zack in the middle with James subbing in. Carp and Burnette @ OLB's. Canty and spears could rotate in at DT or end. Justin Rogers would probably be better in the 4-3 as well.

I still can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that the Dallas Cowboys run a 3-4 defense.

I dunno...it's like going to a concert and watching Eric Clapton play the violin. Or watching an old movie clip of Abbott and Hardy...

I'll make ya a nickel bet that if ya ask CBZ, he feels the same way. I think anyone who's been a fan for a while would feel the same.

I think that completes my rant for the day. :D

I'm right there with ya...

I hate it too.

And I'm not big on the donut eater who brought.

And I'm not big on "Mr. Fixit" either.

Other than that I totally disagree with you. :D

You must have a problem adjusting to the NFL rules after spending so much time watching the CFL. :D

Yo, Mikey.

Every time I'm about ready to agree with you about the 3-4... I'll see Pittsburgh or New England play and realize how diverse a 3-4 can be and how effective it is.

I've seen Phillips' defenses that I've really liked. I don't know... I keep waiting for it to click.

One thing is: You need two very good OLB's to make a 3-4 go and we've only had 1 with Ellis opposite Ware. Spencer could make a night-and-day difference for us.

We will know soon enough if I'm right. I hope I am.

I just hate it for no reason.

Hey, I hated it when the offensive line stopped doing their "up/down" thing before getting into a set position.

Why do you think the 3-4 limits the number of head coaches we can hire?

Cuz there are going to be some coaches who will not want to come here IF we insist on running a 3-4. Because Jerry said that one of the reasons he hired Wade is because he knew the 3-4.

And it surely limits the choices of coordinators.

But this was more a thread about being in hate with something and not particularly needing a valid reason for it. :D

Well said.

I see P-burg play it and everyone is aggressive and flying around the field--

God-almighty, our guys look like it's illegal to touch anyone on the other team.
