Rex Ryan 3-4 defense

[wbecker999]

If we make a change I hope Rex Ryan heads up our defense.
All the 3-4 defense teams have very strong defenses.
Maybe that will solve our pass rush problems.

Browns? Jets? 49ers?

You need to have the right personnel for the 3-4 to be effective and I am not sold we have all the personnel needed to make the switch to the 3-4 and be effective. I hate the idea of a learning curve because you know how that will pan out on the field. Ugly results.

You need the right personnel to run the 3-4 defense. We don't have that personnel.

our defense as a 3-4 right now would probably be

----------griffen-------montgomery-----daniels/golston------------
--washington-------fletcher--------blades--------rocky/godfrey--

and our current secondary

dont know if that d-line would work, and not sure carter could suceed in it, he sure didnt succeed in SF in the 3-4 as a lb and is probably too small to play 3-4 DE. we would need a decent amount of changes in personnel. id think if ryan came we would try to get suggs as a linebacker. id be happy with fletch and blades in the center. is montgomery good enough to play NT? i dont know, possibly. can griffen play DE in a 3-4? who knows. can daniels or golston? dont know. we will bring in new personnel if we change to 3-4

From a personnel perspective, how hard is it to change from a 4-3 to a 3-4?

One of the reasons Wade got the head job in Dallas is because they were built to run the 3-4 and Jones thought it would be much easier to find a coach that ran that system than have to overhaul the roster.

Interstingly, Gregg Williams is a disciple of Buddy Ryan and Rex is his son, so I'm wondering if that makes the transition any easier as far as terminology. Considering Rex runs the 3-4 (which I didn't know) I'm thinking it will be an entirely different system, terminology and all. Am I way off here?

Vinny is really trying to turn this team into what he remembers of the 49ers.

This is getting worse by the minute. I'm going to turn my attention to the Caps, Wizards and Nationals.

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

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

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.

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.

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'
