3-4 For Real

Don't think Parcells had the Cowboys rookies and eligible first-year players lining up in a 3-4 defense at this past mini-camp just to see how it looks. Jones said the Cowboys will open their full-squad, May 27-29 mini-camp lining up in a 3-4 defense.

Now this does not mean the Cowboys will line up exclusively in a 3-4 defense, but it appears Parcells will use the formation he's most familiar with as a staple. Thanks to this draft, the Cowboys now have some players capable of transitioning between the 3-4 and 4-3.

And the big question has been, what happens with La'Roi Glover? Jones said he'll be on the nose, and Glover, also out at Cowboys Golf Course to participate in the tournament, says he played the nose in New Orleans when the Saints dabbled in the 3-4 alignment.

:D

I like adding more looks... it makes OC's have that much more to prepare for...

Sure does - our D will have more of a swagger. Now if we could land a Vet/leader to play FS - This is a deep playoff team - Super Bowl Contender - JMO

Woody's girl is that you? (avatar) Anyway 3-4 defense offers alot of flexibility. No excuses from our coaches not to be creative.

The 4-3 advocates, the Howard trade advocates sit in horror. Is this happening to them?

Aww TB, you ruined the fun I was about to have with him...:D

Yep that's a pic of Da Queen. Actually that's pre weight gain. When she first came out almost 20 yrs ago, she wasn't that big.

I still say we open in SD with a 4-3 on the first snap.
So do I. Stopping LT is paramount, and the 3-4 is suspect to the run.

Starting off against LT is a killer for us...

Many new players on D... new philosophy... but what can we do...

Tough opener...

Hos in denial - LOL

WE are in serious 3-4 Mode, LISTEN TO JJ TODAY. ITS A DONE DEAL.

We are a much bigger team in the 3-4 now. Our 4-3 was puny all around. Let threm bring LT at us. We dictate now - not the offense. This is a great day!

just messing w/u...:) But flattery is always welcome...

As for SD, I'm pumped we're gonna face a solid team like that first. I think we'll get a real good look at what this team is about.
