You can consistently rush 4 from the 3-4 as well. You might be rushing 3 at times, but you can do that from a 4-3 as well. The advantage to rushing 4 from the 3-4 instead of the 4-3 is the QB can't tell where the 4th is coming from. If we have our 3-4, the QB won't know if it's Walden or Mathis coming as the 4th rusher. But if you're in a 4-3, chances are usually high you're not running a zone blitz
We have no pass rush. It doesn't matter if they come from the left, right, or middle. We don't have enough pressure. We don't have enough sacks or QB hits to make an impact so far.

Defensive schemes don't really matter when it comes to projection in the NFL. A pass rusher is a pass rusher. Werner didn't fail because he couldn't transition into a 3-4 OLB. He failed because he was a poor athlete and mediocre pass rusher who beat up on ACC teams in college. Any edge rusher should be able to play in any system. The differences between a 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE are minimal . Weight and power are like the only things that can affect a pass rushers success but those can be gained.
So if weight and power can be gained, then our strength and conditioning coaches should be fired as well. Our offensive line needs to step it up and be stonger, and should have been so for a couple of years. Werner was a pass rusher, and as you say, "a pass rusher is a pass rusher", then it should have made no difference mediocre or not. I think he played out of position. I think there are other examples out there beside Werner. Unfortunately he gets picked because he was a first round draft choice. If he was picked in late rounds would it be much of an issue, maybe not.

It is not enough to say you like one guy over another but also what type of defense does the College team play. 4-3 vs 3-4. We drafter Werner from 4-3 defense and he did not translate well to the 3-4. Now he's out of the league. You list some linebackers but really what will he be line in our defense. It is great that the person you might put out shows spectacular ability, puts up big numbers, but the translation to our team is important. We don't have anyone from an entire draft class on our team or in the NFL for that matter.

The O line is a good one....too much of a problem starting at Center. Too much reliance on free agency. The trade for Richardson did not help but if he had been a better player seeing as we lost a RB due to injury and thin at the time I understand why the deal was done.
-
I was not a fan of the change from 4-3 to a 3-4. When the change was made we did not have the players for a 3-4. Mathis and Freeney are legit DE on a 4-3. We let Freeney go, and try to convert Mathis to an OLB when he is not in his prime. Then there are the linebackers. I still don't think we have good enough players for a 3-4 defense and we tried to make up for it in free agency using players past their prime. Colts changed Defensive Coordinators this past offseason. So that causes me to pause and ask the wth questions.....is it players, coaches, or both.
The Lions won one game against us, and have lost every week since. If our defense would have held for 30 seconds we would have won that game. We had defensive issues against the bloody Jaguars and lost that game too. Yes I know the offense did not help starting slowly against Jacksonville, but the defense is older than the offense in terms of players age.
Am I wrong to want to go back to the 4-3 ?
-
Of the next five games only two really worry me.....The Texans and the Packers. Still plenty of football left but the team has to start getting better now. However that being said......in a different post of mine I think I said that an 8-8 record is more than likely for this year.
-
Cromartie vs Toler............who you want ? The injuries have seriously hurt the development of the younger guys. We did not address the position in the draft. T.J. Green is a safety, and I think the jury is out on him yet.
-
Should have been made into a poll ......but my answer is NO. Lucky we got the win against San Diego. It is amazing how I have seen people talk about Allen being better than Fleener. I don't see that. I don't see that either one was better than the other. Philbin was brought in to help the line. Too many sacks again today. Yes they line is young players and hopefully it is growing pains. I see at least 6 more definite Losses on the schedule coming up, while the rest is a toss up. That would mean no better than a 7-9 record. I know lots of people were predicting 8-8 would be the best we would do.

I think he is on the roster because they think he can play and is versatile. Also if you are on the practice squad, you can be picked up at any time by any team in the NFL. If you are on the 53 man roster, then you are off limits, so it could also be to protect him too. A just in case as someone said Mewhort was a 2 to 4 week injury. Sounds like he might go this Sunday, but what if........................... AND I will leave it at that.

This was last updated in the morning so it does not show the addition of Morris to the practice squad.

Some people are just not cut out to be a head coach......they should stay as a position coach. Just like some military officers are not cut out for higher commands like Corps, or Army, but should stay at Division level. Or if you would rather some people are good at Subway making the sandwich and not being the boss. Venturi is probably one of those people who is a really good position coach but is out of his league when promoted. As some other have pointed out that is still loads of experience that us lay persons don't have.

I think the Panthers will win but I think the game could be a close one. QB situation for Denver is the toss up for me. Not sure what to expect there.

I hate living in Kentucky.
HA................try Pennsylvania......FML. I had to invest in NFL Sunday ticket, but can't get it this year for reasons I don't want to get into. Now I'm stuck with the Steeler, Eagles, Giants, Jets, or Redskins and whatever crappy team they are playing.

I would like to know how serious last year was, and what steps were taken to fix it. I never heard the word surgery. So is this "injury" the same, less, or worse......who knows. Could it be a way to make people wonder but there are new injury rules set by the NFL.....no more listing of probable.

San Francisco 49ers.....and I pray that we do a lot better in the AFC South than what people are saying otherwise.

I sure would flip if A.Q.Shipley ends up on the Broncos in a Ravens-Broncos trade.
I liked Shipley. Surprised the Colts let him go. How about a trade that brings Shipley back and we can send Satele to the Broncos. Just give the Ravens draft picks.
