Whoops, forgot to mention. . .

(Stupid me for doing this in wordpad and forgetting to copy it all >_<)

A 3-4 defense eh?

Well, I hate to tell you this, but Taylor and Freeney are not 3-4 DEs. Your defense would be run all over.

And because this is an all NFL 3-4 defense I'm going to keep people in their natural position. Urlacher could not play MLB in a 3-4. Stroud also plays DT in a 4-3. Adalius has been moved inside by the Patriots.

Dwight Freeney would be completely useless in a 3-4. Terrell Suggs, Richard Seymour would be better picks for a 3-4. At least them guys can stop the run and get at the QB.

GoatHCW | 08/28/07, 02:01 PM

Terrell Suggs is a 3-4 OLB or a 4-3 DE.

He'd fail at being a 3-4 DE

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 02:09 PM

For understanding defensive schemes, Bio gets the vote.

vonbearsalot | 08/28/07, 02:16 PM

DeMarcus Ware for sure!

Jerry Jones | 08/28/07, 02:21 PM

Haloti Ngata DT...Big run stuffing DT who's born to play in a 3-4

Also, I like Wimbley more than Ware for OLB.

doodlebuglc24 | 08/28/07, 02:28 PM

Ngata plays in a 4-3

and Wimbley was a rookie. We'll see him after one more year.

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 02:33 PM

vote to Bio for not putting 250 pound speed rushers as his gap control defensive tackles in the 3-4.

jsang74 | 08/28/07, 02:33 PM

Ngata plays in a 4-3 46/ 3-4 hybrid.... and somebody let go hawks know that a DE in a 3-4 is a 2 gap guy responsible for tying up blockers so the LB's can make plays....

mikesteelnation1 | 08/28/07, 03:00 PM

He doesn't put up a lot of numbers, but Pro-Bowler Casey Hampton (Steelers) is the best run-stopping nose tackle in the league. I can't believe that he wasn't included on either team.

aglebagel | 08/28/07, 03:39 PM

Williams is better.

Want proof?

Steelers-Chargers game.

Williams blew up Faneca (one of the best guards in the league) and Hartings in double teams on almost every play.

He recorded 6 Tackles (3.5 for loss) and 1 sack

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 03:44 PM

Coudlnt have picked it better myself Bio...you get the vote easily.

MillerTime30: FuKuDoMe! | 08/28/07, 04:04 PM

Bio no Jason Taylor?

Taylor does line up at both DE in both alignments (3-4 AND 4-3) and he also lines up at OLB when the Fins use the 3-4 packages.... he is a versatile guy who plays lots of positions on that D....

Jason Taylor is a natural DE though, that's why I didn't put him.

He's a DE over 75% of the time, therefore he should not be included.

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 05:23 PM

and there's no way in hell Taylor lines up at DE in a 3-4.

He'd be killed.

He's a 260 pound speed rusher, not a 300 pound gap stuffing monster.

Bio1590 | 08/28/07, 05:24 PM

He does line up at DE in a 3-4, watch game film.... he still performs the same role of pressuring the QB, but does line up to the side of the NT. He is a speed rusher but is strong and has great technique...

mikesteelnation1 | 08/28/07, 05:29 PM

He doesn't have to be a gap stuffing monster, that isn't the scheme Miami employs when he lines up in that spot... they put him there to catch the O line off balance... Taylor has a sick swim move technique....
