Lol.

Although rumors have it that the photo is actually from the Cardinals.

I'd rather see both Rak and Kerrigan as DEs, have our own version of Freeney/Mathis in their primes.

Yeah, that would work too.

Bowen is a DT in a 4-3? I think Jenkins could be. Bowen could be the man out in the switch.

Linebackers wil be a major need

This. Orakpo got 10 sacks even though he wasn't rushing nearly every down. I think he'd be a beast as a 4-3 DE.

I think Morris as DC would be great choice! Brings energy & excitement! Would feel pretty good about HC, DC, & OC then!


How's this for a ringing endorsement for Haslett. ALready starting this new regime on a bad note.

Don't forget that Haz was Gruden's boss with the Tuskers. The choice to retain Haz may have more to do with JG than with Snyder.

Let us hope that is the case. It is what I am leaning towards...

Good point, still just dont like it.

So is it official back to the 4-3?Would expect the defense to be very multiple.

But I imagine they will stop two gapping, which makes up (nominally) a 4-3 defense. But Orakpo (if he's retained) will not change positions to DE. Just Kerrigan.

Before people continue to get their panties in a bunch, ESPN is reporting that Morris is a candidate for DC...

I dont see Riley as a MLB in a 4-3. I see him and Kerrigan as Outside LBs. Orakpo and Bowen as the DEs. Coefield and possible Jenkins as the DT. I think we need to bring in 4-3 MLB and get a DT immediately.

Are you kidding me?

Kerrigan was a great DE in college. Some of his best work with the Redskins has been when they moved him inside and he could work against OG's. He would be outstanding for us at LDE. We need to re-sign Orakpo to play RDE.

Bowen couldn't rush the passer if his life depended on it. But he would be fine in the rotation at DT.

Cofield and Chris Baker could be a nice pairing at DT. I foresee them as the starters with Bowen and Jarvis Jenkins in the rotation.

I doubt that Perry Riley is fast enough to play OLB but I think he'd be OK at MLB. Keenan Robinson might make a good OLB in a 4-3. Even so, we're probably going to need to bring in some OLB candidates.

I love how everyone is bashing keeping Haslett when it isn't truly official yet. It's all just speculation at this point. There are already conflicting media sources our there about it. Lets wait until its official to pass judgement.

That being said, I'm glad they hired Gruden. Hope this gets is on the right track. Can't wait to see what off season moves we make.
