The 4-3 Under and Current Personnel
Here are some thoughts about transitioning to 4-3. I like the player comparisons. Let these guys play in a scheme and position where they can succeed. My only question... can KPass adjust and find a role.
The 4-3 discussion deserves it's own thread. #megathreadssuck https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/...personnel-fits

The thing I find interesting is Houston at SAM. That allows you to get Ford (or whoever plays LEO), Jones, Speaks, Nnadi, and Houston all on the field in roles that are perfect for them.

It also gives good reason to part ways with Ragland.

With all these guys on the field our run defense has to improve. If KPass could figure out the run he would have a chance too.

You want to put Hitchens in Coverage & attacking the LOS? Pass, rather him play pursuit and cleanup which is all he played in Dallas. Where he was respectable.

What???
When? and where? Dallas? LOL What is your definition of "excelled"? Once Sean Lee got injured (one of the smartest linebackers in the league) their defense was poor at best with Hitchens replacing him. Dallas's defense also got better this year....losing him didn't seem to hurt them if he was so awesome in a 4-3. Hitchens career stats including this season... 5 seasons, 1 INT, 8 passes defensed, 3 Forced fumbles, 3.5 sacks, and 447 combined tackles. The most positive thing you can say about him is that he had a career year in tackles, on one of the worst defenses in the league. He is average at best in any defense he will be put in. Most of the league thought the signing was an absolute joke when the Chiefs made it and that was proven correct this season. Last edited by AssEaterChief; 01-25-2019 at 07:30 PM.. Reason: moar |

My thoughts:
Houston is a DE in the 4-3. He has zero ability to drop back and cover as a LB, but he's pretty physical in the run game and can set the edge. Dee Ford will not be able to play DE in a 4-3. Way too soft in the run game. He might be able to transition to LB. He's too expensive to keep as a pass rush only DE. Realistically, probably a tag & trade guy with the new scheme. If we could get a pick or any defensive starter for him, that would be great. Pass rushers are in demand, so I would think he would have some good value out there. Speaks and Kpass may make fine DE's. They were never OLB's so it makes you wonder if we saw this move coming. Jones can play DT or DE in a 4-3. Nnadi will make the transition easily to DT. Bailey is expensive. I would let him go. Williams and Hamilton can be solid DT depth, and Speaks/K-pass can probably play the 3 technique on passing downs. DOD, Hitchens and Niemann will be fine. Ragland will need to go. We'll need to draft 1 and find at least 2 FA at LB. DB's aren't affected too much by the change, but obviously we need to find at least 1-2 CB's and a safety. We will need to go heavy on D in this draft, and hopefully it's successful so we can start to balance out our drafts after that. By 2020 we'll need to be thinking about drafting some OL and offensive players as well. This draft we'll probably take 1-2 CB's, 1 safety, 1 LB, 1 DT, 1 RB most likely in no particular order. Hopefully DOD, Speaks, Watts, Ward and Smith are all ready to contribute this year. Niemann would be a huge bonus as well. |

The 4-3 under has a position in it where he does excel, the 3-4 didn't.
