Should I play 3-4 or 4-3?

imdashep · 05-10-2011, 10:55 PM

Any opinions welcome. I know there are a ton of threads, but I'm selfish and want input

So, here are the players:

LDE Hutchinson 67/67 (4th year) - 63 run, 78 PRT, 88 PRS
LDE Allen 71/71 (11th year) - 73 run, 74 PRT, 76 PRS
(DE backups are mediocre)

LDT Williams 59/59 (12th year) - 60 run, 64 PRT, 70 PRS
RDT Harrell 73/73 (8th year) - 94 run, 53 PRT, 60 PRS
(one good DT backup, 47/47 with balanced bars)

ILB Mayo 57/57 (7th year) - 73 run, 33 PRT, 100 PRS (mediocre other bars)
ILB Bentley 32/32 (13th year) - 58 run, 0 prt, 76 PRS (good play diag, shit vs. pass)
(some decent, balanced backups)

SLB Greenway 57/57 (9th year) - 61 run, 54 PRT, 54 PRS (average other bars)
WLB McIntosh 53/53 (9th year) - 39 run, 84 PRT, 47 PRS
(one backup with 0 run, 84 PRT, 34 PRS, and some other average ones)

If any other information would help, let me know. Figure this type of question needs another thread.

I vote 4-3.

You can pretty much do anything you want with that kind of talent

bighouserulez · 05-12-2011, 05:46 PM

4-3 if you have the talent unless you have a complete pass rushing monster at WLB.

2 good DT's, 2 good DE's. only 1 good ILB and no olb pass rusher. easy choice 4-3

i too have had to make this choice when i began rebuilding in the dfl. there were equal split among teams that ran the 4-3 and 3-4 so i thought that meant there would be more competition over LB's and less over DT's. so i went with 4-3 since it meant better draft choices and im more comfortable with that scheme

I'm leaning toward 4-3, but the following give me pause to think about 3-4:

First of all, McIntosh/his backup both have 84 PRT, and have produced good results, but are on the downsides of their career and certainly aren't 'elite guys'. Hutchinson actually had a 15 sack year last season (top 3 in league) as a DE in a 3-4.

Also, the WILB spot in the 3-4 I feel like is pretty locked down in terms of I have a good run def guy, but certainly not a stud. Also, the backups at DE blow.

Anyways, appreciate the feedback, seems to be going one way. Awesome help.

How is Williams enjoying his LARK? I say this cause dude is old and probably needs to be put out to pasture.
