I consider winning exciting football. Sure, dropping 40 burgers every week with a high flying passing attack might be more exciting, but bullying a team 21-0 through a punishing rushing attack with mixed in shot plays and a suffocating defense can be just as exciting and both are still Ws. Defense and running the ball wins in Nov through the playoffs and it travels.
They saying is run a 4-3, if you can get the big guys for the line. That tells me, it's easier to field a 3-4 now. I think we have more pieces in place to run a 3-4 than people think. Bresee and Turner can both play DE in a 3-4, Ridgeway might be able to play NT, especially if he gets stronger in the lower body. If not, then let him play DE as well rotating with Bresee or playing opposite should be want to go big. Foskey is probably more of a OLB in a 3-4, looking back at his draft profile, it's just as good if not better than a lot of the guys coming out this season and he's already on the roster. We know that DA and Grantham failed many players on the defense, he could be one of them. Any way we look at it, we need new talent across the board, but this team is not void of young talent and putting in systems that can capitalize on the strengths of the talent we have the best makes sense.
