What should I do on defense?

[Obnoxious]

During the pre-season, I signed Tafatu(or whatever) to my roster because I like to play 3-4. Should I kep my DTs and switch between 4-3 & 3-4 or trade Rodgers/Franklin for a draft pick?

And where can I download Draft Classes? The generated ones suck and I'm too lazy to simulate dynasties in NCAA.

Thanks... Typing on PS3 takes forever.

if u gunna play 3-4, there's no use for 2 high-quality NT's....not to mention Sedrick Ellis....so yea tradin one of the two would be the way to go....I would stay with the 4-3 because ur two OLB's Wilson and Shanle aren't pass-rushers and as u kno with 3-4 ends, their job is to stop the run and allow linebackers to make tackles so Will Smith's and Cameron Jordan's talents would be kinda wasted in that regard since they like to get after the QB...u would have to overhaul most of ur front 7 if ur persistent on playing the 3-4 with the Saints

I've fine before although Shanle gave up a lot of passes. I played 3-4 in the second season of my old Franchise and Jordan led the NFL with 15 sacks. Smith only had 4 thouh.

Ijust like 3-4 because it gives my linebackers 6 to 8 tacles a game instead of just 4 or 5.

But I had Wilson and Dunbar asILB because Vilma was on IR then had Fouku/Shanle and DJ Williams as OLB

i see ur point....if u can sign a stud opposite of smith, u can always move jordan to OLB and not lose his pass-rushing capabilities....a couple less tackles isn't enough of an argument to change my defensive scheme....but like i said if u wanna go with the 3-4 with your current personnel, then yes it'd be wise to unload one of ur NT's, possibly move Ellis to one end and Jordan to OLB

Never thought of moving positions. Thanks.

I might put ellis at LE, Rodgers or Franklin at dt, trade the other, thenreplace Shanle with Jordan.

Dude, your name says it all. I've posted on how to get your LB's tackles...100+ from at least your Mike and/or Will and Sam. If not all 3 if you run the 4-3 base D.

I see you posting this several times. C'mon, mannnnnnn...

Here is my exact Post in response to your other thread of "How can I get more Tackles??"

My MLB and ROLB always have 100+, and my LOLB will end anywhere from 88-100+ as well. On Offense I run the ball about 55-45, or 60-40. I run more than I pass. I'm a 4-3 Aggressive D and Run the Ball type of guy...Old School, if U will. Haha.
