NEXT SEASON



New frame of mind

Star-divide

I would love to see Bill Cower and a 3-4 defense in 2010.  If we let Dunta walk it would let us bring the hometown boy Casey Hampton here.   Then we could draft a corner and safety in the first 2 rounds of the draft.  This is how the defense would look.

 

RE - Williams/Bulman

NT - Hampton/Okam

LE - A. Smith/Okoye

 

OLB - Barwin/Adibi

MLB - Ryans/draft pick

MLB - Cushing/draft pick

OLB - Diles/Adibi

 

SS - draft pick/Pollard

FS - Wilson/Barber

 

CB - draft pick/Molden

CB - McCain/Reeves

Nickel -  Bennett

 

Any thoughts?

Hmm

I think that actually looks decent. Only with Hampton.

Not giving up on this season yet

but, that would be cool. it would never happen though. why would cower want to come here?
also…short of say a 6-10 season, I just don’t see Kubes getting the boot.

I brought up moving to the 3-4 on DGDB&D last year...

And was rightfully ripped a new one for the suggestion (can’t find the post, though).

Anyway, our two best players are Mario and DeMeco, and we essentially neutralize their strengths by moving to a 3-4.

Note to self: Insert something witty here.

I remember that.

I just had a vision. Mario playing OLB. He definitely has the speed to cover a TE. And we all know about his pass-rushing skills.

Back to reality.

3-4. Will never happen unless we do a major overhaul this season and go back to our rebuilding phase again. I would hate to see that.

When you're LAST in the NFL on defense...

…aren’t you already in a rebuilding phase? Can you be ranked lower than LAST?!?

Cower is not going to come here. Fans who keep thinking it are dumb.

We agree. No chance he comes to Houston.

Thoughts

Look I would love to see a 3-4 but think Cush should be an OLB not MLB in that system.
I think Super Mario is not well utilized in the system unless he rotates to OLB but he would struggle on pass coverage. He could work a rotation between OLB and RE depending on the down and distance and that could work well.

I actually think they we would see even further improvement in Ryans because he would have less work filling a gap and could roam a little more.
I agree that Barwin is a great OLB, I also think that in my little mental thing that Casey could be a good nickel SS guy or MLB in a 3-4.

We would have to have some major beef upgrade in the middle to make this work. We would need three real phat (fat) guys doing the D line work.

I know everyone would rip me for this but I believe the system is so much superior to the 4-3 that even will guys that don’t quite fit it would work allot better.

Does anyone remember the 4 years we ran a 3-4 ?

Was good the first season, but you have to have a GM that can find the right guys to fit the scheme. We wasted 5 or 6 picks on Babin and P-buc, and the defense was set back years.

I could easily get banned from more.

But I’m trying to behave
