I love the 3-4 but we can't just switch to it during the season. And we can't just blitz all the time either - eventually teams figure you out and you get burnt. I wouldn't mind blitzing more often, but we have to pick our spots and do it effectively.

I watched the game for the first time in the full last night.. Barnett is getting killed inside.. he cannot get off a block effectively.

But the root of the problem is the front is getting pushed around severely which is allowing a lineman and the blocking backs to get to the backers.. Monty/Thompson/KGB were getting dismantled over there and Jolly was breaking off is assignments.

After watching this game.. the Jenkins injury looks even more brutal to the seasons hope. We need a Vonnie Holliday type of run stuffer on that end to anchor the corner.. not get pinned in and collapse.

Yikes, they better step it up or find someone that can. J. Thompson looks very subpar and stiff.. disappointing.

Going to the 3-4 is a horrible idea.

Mainly because if we can't stop the run with 4 DL, how are they going to stop it with 3 DL?

If anything the Packers need to go to a 5-2.... That makes it easier to stop the run. But harder to cover but I think Barnett and Hawk can do it. At least a healthy Hawk could.

If that doesn't work maybe a 4-4 or 5-3...

Also the packers have been blitzing more than usually. The problem is that NO ONE is winning there one on one battles and getting pressure even with a blitz, and that making them looking worse than when they don't blitz so they stop blitzing.

Also has one one been able to break now the zone defense the DB are running ever since Harris and Bigby have been out? I haven't yet been able to figure out what type of zone it is yet... but it looks very weak over the middle.

Wouldnt having a 3-4 plug up the gaps in the O line if you had the line backers covering them?

Maybe if you have four physical LBs that can start. We have a injured Hawk, Poppinga, and maybe Bishop...

But it's still harder to stop the run in a 3-4... than a 4-3.

The Giants didn't blitz that much, atleast from what I saw. They had a phenomenal front four that provided a devastating pass rush.

They actually did blitz, but used it perfectly - the right amount. The difference between their blitzes and our blitzes was that theirs worked.

Someone said you have to have better pressure from your front four for the blitzes to really work. I think that's what the Giants had that we lack right now.

Kampy's getting double teamed. KGB's not doing anything. Jenkins was doing well, but is out. Corey Williams provided tons of pressure, but he's gone. :(

We're going to have to do something different. We're giving opposing QBs too much time.

You need pass rushing linebackers in the 3-4. Demarcus Ware was a DE in college, but he's OLB in the 3-4. That's because he's a pass rusher and built for it.

Same applied for Shawn Merrimen, James Harrison, Joey Porter, Willie McGinest and so on.

Poppinga would be the closes thing to a 3-4 OLB that we have and he wouldn't be a good one either in my opinion. Hawk would be an inside backer in the 3-4 and Barnett I think would struggle at it.

The bottom line is we aren't built to be a 3-4 team. We could get away with lining up in a 3-4 in certain situations. Just for different looks, but beyond that changing to a 3-4 base would be a mistake.

Kampman our best front seven player is also a poor fit for the 3-4.

The key to the defense is to keep our same look, but get more aggressive.

If we could not get our offense set up to play with Brett, who had 16 seasons here, with the entire pre season to work with; how are we going to change our defense during the season?

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Well read into Mike McCarthy thoughts this weeks is pulling back on the wrinkles in the D so the young gents can just play.. I don't think it can get much more basic can it? :lol:

I agree with you that if you have 4 guys on the line, you are in good shape to stop the run. Unfortunatily we have no d line, as well as injured line backers. Its just really not a good situation any way you look at it.

Even when Kampman isn't double team he's not beating his man.

And Williams isn't doing anythign with the Browns other than one game, and didn't the head coach call Williams a bust so far?

I agree we have to do something different.

Williams was quite good under our system. Some players work with some systems and falter in others.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : this game is over
