i think it was you who pointed out that it doesn't really matter because they are hardly ever in base. but maybe i am misremembering. one thing we really don't have to worry about is the draft because gute never really pays any attention to matching his picks to anything as specific as 3-4 vs 4-3. we're lucky if he drafts an actual dl and not someone he wants to convert to dl.
You just spent two years recalibrating for a 43 front... now you're jumping back to a 34. Add in your hiring a guy who tends to love zone...we flat out suck at it. It doesn't add up for me at all.
To be honest I think we are going to play a mix of all kinds of stuff. GB will be in 43 and 34 and inbetween. Not sure that will work out playing a mixture of schemes to try to confuse the other teams.
I see the concern with Wyatt but I honestly don't know who else it applies to. Parsons is all world regardless (injury recovery TBD and not relevant to scheme). LVN is a stand up edge, Hafley had him doing it last year. Cox arguably is a better stand up edge than pure 4-3 DE, that's sort of what I remember his draft profile saying. Frankly I don't think Gute went out of his way to really commit to that 4-3 front, they never tried to transform themselves into the 49ers front, as an example, personnel wise. Hafley still had both LVN and Gary standing up.
worlds collide: you and ken ingalls are on the same page.
it sure seems like we are headed for another mediocre year where we just barely make it to the playoffs and then lose in embarrassing fashion. it's the wisconsin way.
Good post 57, this is about exactly where Im at.
