I didn't think he would get canned so quick. But I am excited and optimistic with the thought of completely revamping the D.

I'm happy that payton made the choice to fire spags. he was terrible not sure about 3-4defense . Need to pick up some linebackers to run the system but that definitely sounds like he has somebody in mind To run the defense

I actually love that if they're gonna fire him, they switch to a 3-4

I think personnel fits that MUCH better right now. MUCH MUCH better. linebacker will be touch and go, but I think Martez wilson and Junior Gallette will be pretty solid rush linebackers.

Cam Jordan has played literally his entire football life as a 5-tech DE. Tom Johnson was a defensive end in a 3-4 in Canada. Akiem Hicks is GIGANTIC and athletic..could be a nice nose guard.

Damn. Wasn't expecting him to be fired after one year, even with the abysmal performance of the D last season.

Holy shite, I feel so affirmed with my "Should we switch to the 34" threads.

I think we def have the personnel for it, it was really just the scheme that wouldn't allow for it.

the switch to the 3-4 is the biggest surprise. What do we do at LB now?

I do think Cam Jordan is really going to benefit in this system.

But what about Hawthorne? Vilma?
