Is it possible we could switch to a 4-3?

[Mitziman]

I must admit, the signing of Hatcher made me scratch my head. Personnel wise, could it...maybe...work?

LDE.....Kerrigan
LDT.....Baker/Jenkins
RDT.....Hatcher
RDE.....Orakpo
WLB.....Jenkins/Draft/FA
MLB.....Riley
SLB.....R. Jackson
LCB.....Porter/Minnifield
SS.....Rambo/Meriweather
FS.....D Hall
RCB.....Amerson

I don't know about you, but that 4-3 gives me a woody.

Not going to happen bro. Besides, we play our nikel package about 60% of the time. But coaches also like the flexibility that playing a base 3-4 gives us.

I'm sure you are right Shark, but can you imagine what type of pressure that starting front 4 would bring? Wow.

If they switched to a 4-3. All the skins bloggers and local sports people would know

Actually yes. And I assure you, we will see it from time to time. But not as a base package. While it brings pressure, it is also predictable to a degree. We would need to be alot more solid at Safety and corner to make the kind of switch you suggest. Also if we stay a 3-4, I think we are putting together a potentially lethal D-line rotation. If Godzilla Geathers (copy right pending on the nick name) can give us a little push from one DE spot in rotation with Bowen from the other.. We get nasty. this assumes A starting three of Hatcher, Coefield and Jenkins. With Geathers, Neild, Bowen and Baker in the rotation. Not too bad if we get production from Geathers and Bowen gets healthy.

Just like all the Auburn bloggers and locals this time last year thinking they would be playing for a BCS Nat'l Championship.

...shit happens, and sometimes you don't even see it coming.

Man, I hope he pans out.

Well mitz gruden said coaching up players like 5 times in his intro as head coach. So I guess this coaching staff is about coaching up

Lets just say, as some one that has coached on the youth level, if I had a kid with his natural size on my D-line i could find a way to use him for damn sure

That's horrible.

RAK- never played DE in the NFL. Might be able to transition back
Are you referring to Brandon Jenkins playing WLB? If you are, it makes much more sense to have him at DE and RAK at WLB.
Are you referring to Rob Jackson at SLB? He's never played LB and isn't on this team (I think).
DeAngelo Hall at FS? I know we hear about it all the time but he's not done it.

There really isn't much I like about this idea.

RAK was a beast at DE in college. Both he, and Kerrigan might have 13+ sacks each in the 4-3.
Jackson, was a stretch...How about a healthy Keenan Robinson instead.

 

[gkekoa]

RAK was in college how long ago? Why didn't he play DE in the pros when he got here?


So 4-3 DEs get more sacks than 3-4 OLBS?


Robinson has done what exactly to impress us?
