New Defensive Look

[DoubleDuece]

SO now that we are moving from the 3-4 to the 4-3, exactly how is the starting lineup going to look?

DE - Ware
DT - Ratliff
DT - Lissmore/Price
DE - Crawford
WLB - Spencer
MLB - Lee
SLB - Bruce
CB - Carr
CB - Claiborne
S - Church
S - Scandrick/Johnson

Thoughts?

Spencer will be at DE. Based on what the Cowboys and Kiffin have said thus far

Corrections bolded.

Hatcher at DT won't work. We will get a NT in the first 3 rounds.

Weakside DE: Ware
3 Tech: Probably Hatcher
1 Tech: Probably Ratliff
Strongside DE: Spencer
WLB: Will try Carter out here first
MLB: Will try Lee out here first
SLB: Unclear. Probably Wilber then Albright then Sims, they'd prefer a young guy to develop, but it'll depend on training camp. Also possibly a draft pick.
SS: Barry Church
FS: Matt Johnson vs draft pick vs low end free agent

 

[xwalker]

Strong-Side DE: Spencer
1-tech DT: Ratliff
3-tech DT: Hatcher
Weak-Side DE: Ware

SLB: Wilbur/Sims/Albright
MLB: Lee
WLB: Carter

CB: Carr
CB: Claiborne

Safety: Church
Safety: Johnson

If all of the above are healthy, the only Free Agent or Draft Pick that might be a day-1 starter would be at Safety; although, if a DL if drafted high, he would be in the rotation.

 

[Gaede]

My prediction:

Ware, Hatcher, Ratliff, Spencer

Carter, Lee, Rookie/Wilbur

Carr, Church, Rookie, Claiborne

 

[Typhus]

Dont pencil Lee in at MLB just yet. He will compete with Carter for that role in camp, and looser is WLB.

Actually I think Carter wins this battle.. we will see.

why do you say this?

 

[Bigtommyb]

why do you say this?

I don't agree that we will or that we need to get a DT(and we are switching to 4-3 it's not a NT)? However we will not draft or need to go that route only if we got rid of Rat!!!!!! We are fine with Hatcher and Lissamore and poss depth guy, we have interchangeable parts.

 

[Typhus]

why do you say this?

I wouldnt say Hatch cant play the 3 tech, but there is a need to draft one, rather or not on day one is debatable.
Either way this team needs another 3T DL.

yea, I really just meant the "hatcher at dt won't work" part. that is the first time I have seen anyone, anywhere, say that. just wondered why.

De-ware
Dt- Ratliff
DT - Lissmore/hatcher
DE - Spencer/crawford
WLB - Wilbur/sims
MLB - Lee
SLB - Bruce
CB - Carr
CB - Claiborne
S - Church
S - barber/Johnson/draft pick

Need the speed and coverage ability at MLB and WLB... dont see Carter at strong side.

 

[conner01]

i think we will add a 3 tech in the draft. but you need several guys at each position on the dline so you can keep them all fresh.

 

[Dalmations202]

WDE-Ware
1Tech- Williams(rookie- not sure which Williams though)/Lissenmore
3Tech - Hatcher/Bass/ Ratliff being the 3rd down passrush for either 1 or 3 tech
SDE - Spencer/Crawford
SLB - Wilbur/Sims/Albright
MLB - Lee
WLB - Bruce
CB - Carr
CB - Claiborne
S - Church/(rookie)
S - FA/Johnson

Just my guess.......

Hatcher at DT won't work. We will get a NT in the first 3 rounds.

If you pull up the All-22, you will see that the position that Hatcher played on many snaps in 2012 was very similar to the position that Melton played in Chicago (i.e. isolated on the outside shoulder of the OG).

Interesting, didn't know that.

 

[Gaede]

Also, I'd like to add that if we get a DT in round one, I think they'll try to trade Ratliff for whatever they can get.

Not now, after they restructured his contract. The restructure bonus plus any previous prorated bonus money would accelerate into the 2013 cap if he is traded.
