with the 3-4 there is SO MUCH MORE on the Linebackers plate. You draft 3-4 linebackers, rarely can you turn someone into a 3-4 linebacker.
100% agreed. And with a 3-4 the ILBs are asked to cover quite a bit, something we know from the last couple years Brooks really cannot do, and Barton? I mean Barton is Rudy at this point... I love the guys spirit but it's like Happy Gilmore... there's a problem, he's not any good. And then the EDGE rushers have to be larger guys that know how to play the position.
It's a hard D to run, and Seattle did FUCK all to build up this 3-4 outside of acquiring Shelby Harris. Boye Mafe could be considered a future solid starter in a 3-4 but projected better as a 4-3 pass rush specialist due to his first step....
So who in the wide world of fuck, decided a 3-4 let alone wide 9 defense was the right answer? I mean teams with literally half their starting offense are just destroying Seattle at this moment. That shit doesn't happen. I literally can't remember a worse defense in NFL history.... I mean we're in 2012 Saints territory here.
