Switch to 4-3

[LatinMind]

I still don't see Canty as a 4-3 DE... too slow. But he'd be a quick DT.

me i think canty is the one who would be misplaced with a turn to the 3-4. and i actually think he'd be the only one. because basically he's never really played in a 4-3. maybe in highschool but u know.

but spears and ratliff would make some very good DT's along side ferguson. hopefully. spears just seems lazy. ratliff just made plays when he got on the field last yr. ithink he deserves a chance

Canty played DE in a 43 while at Virginia, if I'm not mistaken.

you are mistaken

You guys do realize we played some 4-3 this year and not just on third down.

I hope and believe we will play both fronts.

Here are some lineups I think work real well.

Standard 3-4:
RDE Canty
NT Ferguson
LDE Spears
ROLB Ware
RMLB Ayodele
LMLB James
LOLB Carpenter

Big 4-3
RDE Canty
UT Spears
DT Ferguson
LDE Hatcher
ROLB Ware
MLB James
LOLB Carpenter

Standard 4-3
RDE Ware
UT Ratliff
NT Ferguson
LDE Canty
ROLB Roy Williams
MLB Ayodele
LOLB Burnett


Standard 4-3
RDE Ware
UT Hatcher
NT Ferguson
LDE Canty
ROLB Burnett
MLB Ayodele
LOLB Carpenter

Nickle 4 DL
RDE Ware
UT Hatcher
UT Ratliff
LDE Carpenter
NLB R. Williams
NLB Burnett

We need to draft/sign FA at NT/DT.
Ferguson's the only one we have and he's 33. This is a must regardless of how much 4-3 we play.

Another cover type safety. As you see, I think R. Williams would look real good as a 4-3 OLB and a NLB for part of the game, need someone to take his place in the lineup as SS partime.

No way Dallas should give Spears and Canty a shot in the a 4-3. I mean they did so well in the 3-4.
