Did he sit back this year and realize the 3-4 scheme is just more successful and may be better suited for our personnel? So he pulled the plug while he knew he could?


This IMO. I think he was sitting around and the wheels were spinning, and this was just the first opportunity he could

Do we have a FATASS to put in at nose?

3-4 has more ability to cover the pass crazy offenses of the world. Then all you need is an extra fat boy to throw in for running situations.

As was already mentioned. It is all about base personnel and what they are suited for. You can always flex in and out of 3-4 or 4-3. There is a learning curve though that I worry about, but nowhere to go but up after the worst defensive performance in history.

I am still not excited about firing Spagnola. Unless they get a Crennell type name I will be unhappy. Spagnola was thrown under the bus for a season that was "lost" anyway. Defense was porous at best even during Super Bowl year (still love saying that). I guess they (Payton and Spagnola) never got to mesh as the shitstorm hit right after he was hired. Maybe a LOT behind the scenes that went on. Their first meeting when Sean got back may have went poorly. Two cocky guys with rings telling each other to frick off.?? Who knows.
