Neil Farrel was 6’4 292 when he got here and guess what? He jumped up to 315 to be a 3-4 DE.


First of all he might be listed at 315 but he's not 315 and he actually needs to get down to around 290 to be a better 3-4 DE

In today's game your 3-4 DEs should be about 285 and be able to rush the passer with your NT being 315+

In a 4-3 the 2 DTs should be 300+ with one DE being in the 270 range and one being in the the 250-260 range and really athletic

Not true you don’t even realize there’s a 2 gapping 3-4 and one gapping 3-4. 2 Gap requires for bigger bodies all across to eat up blocks. One gap uses smaller pass rushing defensive ends like you mentioned. Also in the 4-3 there’s a Strong side end that can be in the 280-290 range. That’s how Saban ran it. Both of the ends do not have to be in the 260 range.

Cameron Jordan for the Saints is one of the leagues best defensive ends in the 4-3 and he’s 6-4 285 and opposite of him is Marcus Davenport who is 6’6 265. Like I said one strong side end and one more athletic. They do not have to be mingo size.

Cherry is better suited to be a 4-3 end, but I don’t know who else on our current roster.
