People always get hung up on this. He runs a Fangio 34 under. The ends are 3tech and 5 tech. NT still plays the 1.
We're basically doing that already with Cam playing ~5 or on OT most plays. Bresee will stay at 3. Shep/Saunders will play NT with Shep playing the 3 on run downs just like now. Granderson will be standing instead of hand in the dirt but have 90% of same job (see Sweat from Eagles).
Werner/DD will have the same job. We aren't asking one to stack n shed like old school 34.
43/34 we still need a DT and edge rusher.

Alontae could be perfect there. Koolaid and Adebo outside and AT creating havoc like CJGJ.

Needs to gain back the weight he lost last year and play the 5 tech IMO. Granderson has to be the main OLB edge rusher, so the other needs to be able to cover a bit / move in space. I don't think Cam can still do that at 35.

There’s gonna be rookies playing some of these positions. Granderson and Breese are the only ones i truly see guaranteed a starting position. Our defense is the oldest part of our team. Not a single player on this team can play NT. They also need more than one pass rusher. So the current makeup of who we have is not who Staley will be working with for the most part.

I think he can be a good DC with good players. My hope is that he isn’t the scapegoat after we suck this year and next year.
If we can hit on some picks for the first time in forever and they give him time, I think he can be quite successful here. IF they give him time

there are only 12 players under contract in 2027. The 6 on defense are: Granderson, Werner, McKinstry, Fluellen (S), Ford & Boyd
Let’s see how many are under contact once we start can kicking to get cap compliant. 12 is an irrelevant number today.

Well you're an idiot so it's prolly a great hire.

Yeah well you loved Dennis Allen and signing Carr. Airline Dr keeps you right in their back pocket sniffing in between Gayle’s butt cheeks.
