He said it was a challenge to coach against the 3-4 also.

Plus, we did spend 4 years gathering 3-4 personnel. While most of the guys did play 4-3 in college, why have to revamp the entire D again?

The 3-4 scheme is not the problem. Our inability to gather a full defensive roster was. We never built a secondary and our D-line has looked good in Week 1 on paper but we never had the depth to survive a whole season on the line. The only solid part of the defense were the linebackers and now we have to replace Fletcher.

Keep the 3-4 and plug the holes. I really think Haslett could do at least an acceptable if not great job if he actually had players on the field. When Reed Doughty has been one of the keys to our defense for a few years, that's a bad situation.

Yeah 34 or 43 doesn't matter if you don't have the talent to begin with. Never understood why folks get so hung up on that. For years it seems all we heard was why don't we switch to the 34, we finally do and everyone wants to switch back now.

I have beating the Ken Norton Jr. drum for a couple months now. But I guess we are going to have to watch Ole Jimmy look silly on the sidelines for another year.

I was Ken Norton III linebacker coach when he was playing pop-warner and I was a senior in high school… talk about pressure. Would be a hire I'd be happy about.

Exactly. The key now is getting the rite personnel for the 3-4. If that's what Gruden wants to run of course. Sounds like he does.

Good news. I like that we're actually getting coaches here that coached the position before (Baker) and are also experienced and well established (Kotwica).

What an amazing concept.

I'd bring back Bill Musgrave for QB coach.
