You know, before we spend another day on here putting square pegs in round holes and breaking our backs trying to figure out which of Houston or Ford is the RDE maybe we should take a hard look at this article and see that Spags is going to tailor the defense TO the guys instead of the Sutton method of the opposite maybe he might just keep both? |

that's all fine and good; the point is that you will have almost $40 million tied up in Houston and Ford. If you think that's cool, then I guess. |

Tbh if Spags were to stick with the 3-4 it would make sense as it would be way easier to sort the defense out quickly rather than having an entire scheme change and worry about whether our current players could fit into the new scheme. Keeping Ford and Houston as edges would then be worth it as they were just part of the best pass rush In the league last season. All we would then need to do add key pieces to the secondary, LB group and a few on the DL.
Bailey, Sorensen, Nelson, Conley, Ware, Morse etc leaving should create more than enough cap space to absorb Houston/Ford for one more year, then we could just let them go next offseason If need be. I just think Spags has to think long and hard about splitting up that pass-rush trio that was so effective last season. |

No-one is saying keep the whole defense, I'm saying keep the scheme and the BEST PART of the defense which was the pass rush. As much as people are yelling for "change", a change in scheme could take time for the players to adjust to and could cost us games In the process.

That's why we hired excellent assistants. And my guess is, we buy a lot of stopgap veterans this season to step in. It'll be a hell of a lot better than if we tried to make a bad defense work. |

Keep the scheme? Why would that happen? Clearly scheme is one of the problems besides the fact we had a terrible defensive staff. Old and tired with no ability to make players better. The run defense never got any better and the pass defense didn't get any better. They cleaned house one year too late in my book.

My point is the issues on defense were more to do with a lack of quality players in key positions such as the secondary and line-backing group, coupled with Bob's lack of aggression, rather than it being about the 3-4 system. Everyone wants the whole thing torn down and I get it, but we've only got one season left until Pat's contract turns the team's cap upside down. So this is why I wouldn't mind keeping things more simple for at least another season and rather than get rid of everything, just keep the system, keep the pass rush and add heavily to the secondary and lb group.
Folks may disagree but Spags said he'll look at the roster and go with what fits the players best. So yall better be prepared for some disappointment If he decides to take the SAFE route and follow my advice . |

I'd rather have an impact safety and a solid starter at some other position than Houston or Ford. |
