Scrap the 3-4, go back to 4-3

How is the O helping the D right now? You cannot expect them to stop everyone all the time if they keep starting on our side of the field.

Who have the stopped? The browns.....Every other team put up 20+ on them....they're no excuses for their poor play and they just suck.

The D is really not as bad as your making out to be. TNew out hurts more then anything else. We will see how they fair with Wade being more involved now. This is a D that has the bend don't break motto. That only works when your O is putting up points.

The D is terrible. The bend and break. They don't stop anyone and have been carried by the offense the whole time and when it's time for them to step up they are casper the friendly ghost out there!!!

yeah but thats how we play D. We are what we are.

we are softer than baby crap and don't stop any one. You talk about what the offense does for the defense what does the D do for the offense they generated what 4 turnovers this season?

:chainsaw: :chop: I will not rest till Wade Phillips is canned as Head Coach and We move back to a 4-3 Defense.

lol yeah pretty much. I don't particularly like how we play D either. Having said that, when the O plays well our D tends to look just fine. To say we need to tear down the D and restructure it just does not make sense.

thats because the offense is over compensating for our weak defense.

If we can play SP and keep our D out of some bad situations things will turn for the better. Lets see how our D responds when they don't start backed up to our own goal line.

Our D is trash.

sure expensive trash

unfortunately we invested a lot of money in the D and aren't getting the results we expected to have.

Yes, it is.

Yep, and I wonder how long it will take for you to start complaining about the 4-3 .

 

[Maikeru-sama]

Yes, it is.

To be honest, the last time the defense was stronger than the offense was in 2003, and that defense eventually got exposed.

 

[jterrell]

what switching back to the 4-3 does is swap out marcus spears or chris canty for bobby carpenter.... anyone really wanna do that?

 

[Hostile]

All you need to do to "think" about this is make a list of those for it and those against it and weigh the actual football acumen in each list.

Yeah eventhough that D was "Ranked" #1, it wasn't the best defense in the NFL. Not even close.


If I remember correctly we faced a lot of injury plagued teams that year and that really helped our ranking out quite a bit.

Yeah, that and we had a very easy schedule that year.

 

[vicjagger]

Yeah, that and we had a very easy schedule that year.

Also, our offense was inept. They often turned the ball over in their own end of the field. You don't surrender many yards on defense when you're giving up 35 yard TD drives. And since the #1 ranking is based on yards per game...
