The switch to a 3-4 defense

A lot of people will focus on the linebackers and edge, but your front 3 drive the defense. If any of those 3 fail to do their job the whole defense crumbles.

Then you need a linebacker that excels in pass coverage. Even if your front 3 are doing their jobs well your edge has no chance to do his as the opposing offense will just pick on your WILL and MIKE over the middle for 5-7 yard passes. Then from there the defense crumbles as it has a domino effect.

Bresee is our biggest concern. Sheppard and Saunders can play DE. Not sure if Bresee can has he’s always gone blown off the line by run blocking. We’re also going to need to find a NT. We haven’t one. Commanders run a 4-3 but shift to resemble a 3-4 odd quit a bit and Ridgeway really struggled with it. DA ran more of a 4-3 under which was believed Ridgeway would find more success with.

Basically, we haven’t a single answer for an NT what so ever on the roster but there will be some options in free agency and the draft. More than likely, look for a free agency signing. Loomis is notorious for going into the draft without any needs.
