    Ive seen some calls for the 4-3. I don’t know why people think that’s going to fix everything. We have a lot of players who we’d have to move on from since they are not ideal 4-3 players. It would be a complete rebuild of the front 7, including moving on from players like Heyward and Watt. We also have no weak side ILB which is completely necessary in a 4-3 (would we draft one? Rely on Thomas?).

    The problem is our “communication” which is essentially coaching. If I’m the DC, I’m begging to draft or sign an ILB that is in the same mold as Shazier. Sign a pass rusher to go opposite Watt. Maybe sign or draft another CB. The sad thing is defensively we have enough solid players to have a quality defense... our coaching staff has to do a better job of putting them in positions they can succeed.

    Give big Dan more minutes..... gravedigger lost his shovel somewhere..

    Give my corners press man to man responsibilities and let's see who the real weak link is

    Safeties will have deep middle and intermediate responsibilities

    Dial up multiple blitzes with lbers and nickle and dime backs

    Tell the entire d-line to wreak havoc

    Fire Joey porter and hire Kevin greene..

    The gameplan against the Chiefs was omg they have Tyreek Hill he's fast!!! Lets play cover 2 zone. Then when that didn't work, they did some single high man and Burns got burned by Hill for a touchdown. Why is it so hard to play man but say if you are on Hill give him and only him a 5-10 yard cushion?

    Bucs got some really good WRs. If we sit in zone all game they will kill us. I'd play man and give D Jax 5-10 yard cushion. Dial up some blitz.

    I don't think we'd have to get rid of everybody.

    Watt has always reminded me of Brian Urlacher. I could see him thrive at MLB. Heyward was a 4-3 DE at Ohio State and he could play inside as well. We'd probably have to draft a WLB. The only real piece I don't see fitting is Dupree.

    I think our DL group is better than our LB group. So, I would use McCullers and Hargrave as DTs and Tuitt and Heyward as DEs until I'm able to draft passing rushing DEs. Dupree, Watt and Bostic as my three LBs with the occasional use of one of the safeties in there place.

    It would turn our defense into a hodge podge of mismatching parts. Heyward is more of a DT in a 43 than a DE (lacks the twitch to be an edge rusher), so you’d have to throw him inside. Then do the same with Tuitt. Dupree could possible play with his hand down, but he’s the only matching part. We’d have to get a 43 pass rusher for the other side. Then we’d have no one at LB. Watt could maybe play ILB, but that’s a waste of his talents. Thomas would be the only LBer we have capable of the Will. Then we’d have to get a ILB to play middle (Shazier would’ve been an animal here).

    So essentially we would have two prototype 34 DE’s playing tackle. A scrub at one end (Dupree) and a question mark at the other. Then we’d have an UDFA as our only Will, and no ILB....

    The problem isn’t our front 7 with the defense. Going 43 won’t magically fix the massive suckage in our secondary. We need CB and Safety help. Hopefully Edmunds can help. Burns and Davis haven’t gotten a lot better (it hasn’t helped that Davis has changed positions all 3 years) and Golson never got started. We need to fix the secondary by either signing people that don’t suck, or actually developing our early round picks (which we haven’t done).
