Rex Ryan 3-4 defense

Big C -- no Andre Carter?

Going to a 3-4 is a terrible idea, in my opinion. We don't have an abundance of linebackers, and we dont have large space eating dlinemen. If we go Rex Ryan (which I really doubt we will, giving up picks to get him and the 3-4 is just too much) expect our #1 pick to go to a nose tackle, because without a big nose tackle the 3-4 will not work.

i mentioned in my post that he didnt work out in a 3-4 in SF as a linebacker, and is too small for a DE there. i dont want the 3-4, but if we go that route i think carter will be in a lot of trouble

Remember how Joe Gibbs was hired back in 1981 and everyone was like "Oh this guy is all about passing, passing, passing. That's all he knows. Look for 500 yard passing games each week from Theismann"...and then we won going heavy jumbo with the Hogs and John Riggins?

That's all I'm sayin'

look no further than the new york jets to see a defense being forced into a 3-4. its a tough transistion. its likely the main reason jonathan vilma wants out of new york.

i do not believe we have any ideal players in our front 7 for this sheme. especially at tackle. all the successful 3-4 defenses have a big, 400 lb monster to play the nose. the outside linebackers must be agile pass rushes. and the inside guys must be run stoppers who can excell in coverage.

fletch (inside) and maybe rocky (outside) could make the switch. but how long til rocky's healthy? nobody knows for sure.

we had the 4th overall defense this year and now we're gonna overhaul it? i don't see it. and if we do... god help us.

Are you suggesting that there are coaches out there that are capable of ....adapting their schemes to the personnel they have been given? I ridicule your ridiculousness. Everyone knows good coaches pound square pegs in round holes and are quite successful in doing so.

Big C: Sorry, I was in a rush and didn't say what I meant to there. Basically what I was saying is are you going to sit him down? That's a lot of money to be sitting on your bench. I just don't think from a salary cap perspective it's feasible.

where would he play? i dont know what we would do with him. if he could bulk up he could play DE but i dont think he is fast enough for LB as he failed there in SF

I thought that Baltimore made the switch to the 46 defense last year?

After all Rex Ryan is the son of the guy who created the 46.

You are correct. I was wondering why people are talking about the 3-4 defense when Rex Ryan prefers to run his Dads 46. I think he ran the 3-4 in places because his personnel dictated it. But this year the Raves ran mostly the 46.
I would think if he becomes the Redskins D coordinator, he would run the 46.

I do not believe Ryan is stupid enough to come here and try to fill the huge shoes of Greg's or see if thesecond time around with ex-raven Fassel can be better

We would need a "Grady Jackson like" player for nose gaurd. Our linebackers are good enough. Carter can play 3-4 DE.

Carter really struggled in a 3-4 while he was in SF. That's why they let him go.

REDSKIN FANS...... Isn't Rex Ryan under contract with the Balt. Ravens??? From what I've heard Harbaugh want's to keep him. Everyone chill out cause he's probably not coming here.
