Valentine at NT Bower and Herron at DE Beckwith and CG3 at MLB Feist and Jones at OLB White and Paris/Robinson at CB and Adams and Jefferson at S looks pretty stacked already without mentioning any of the incoming recruits.

I think we have some personnel to run a 3-4, but Steele should run a 4-3 for next year. Plus Bama's defense may be considered a base 3-4 but they line up 4-3 more than 3-4

We cannot move to a 3-4 this year. Don't have the personnel for it. Period.

Bama had 4 down more often than 3 this past year FYI.

Is Steele's defense an attacking defense? LSU could hardly get to the QBs under Chavis.

For everone that always brings up the 3-4 stuff, think about this, Do we have the Huge physical LBers to run this? No, but where is our strength? Secondary is the answer, so put an extra DB or 2 on the field to maximize the potential of the D.

You have to be big and athletic up front in a 3-4

I hope we stay 4-3. We don't have the personnel to run a 3-4. It would be a disaster in transition.

Valentine hasn't played a single snap at NT and is much better suited as a 3 technique in a 4-3 than a NT. It'd be a waste of his athleticism to put him as just a guy to eat up blocks.

Bower


Needs to put on about 30 lbs to even be considered as a 3-4 DE. Would get shoved around like Oregon's Dline did.

quote:

Herron at DE


Solid 3-4 DE IMO, but he hasn't been able to see the field. Kind of worrisome. Plus, this leaves out Godchaux and Lacouture who are two experienced Dlinemen.

quote:

Beckwith and CG3 at MLB


Not bad, but not great.

quote:

Feist and Jones at OLB




Need guys like Lewis Neal, Teuhema, DE types to blitz out of the 3-4.



We better stay 4-3 IMO, which is what Steele was at every stop except Bama.

IMO, we should lineup like this:

DE- Bower
DT- Valentine
DT- Lacouture
DE- Godchaux/Neal

OLB- Riley
MLB- Beckwith
OLB- Jones/Louis

CB- Robinson
CB- White
SS- Adams
FS- Jefferson

If we go to the 3-4 then I would move Melvin Jones back to defense. I think he and Beckwith at ILB would be pretty solid.

We have the best, Craziest DL coach in the nation. I want as many of his beasts on the field as possible.
