    Im fine with his style of play, yes he leaves you wanting more sometimes, but he rarely makes you question his play. If there was some way of having two McCourty's I'd be thrilled with that.

    We need a more physical corner to go with McCourty. Aka Verner was perfect. McCourty is more flashy and can defend the deep ball pretty well. Verner was always there on the quick stuff.

    Full-retard again. This is about the defense.

    Didn't read through much of this thread but I'll say one thing, in defense of Whiz and Horton:

    If 3-4 is what they want to play and are most comfortable doing, they should do that. We may have 4-3 personnel right now, but Whiz/Horton aren't tied to these players, and the roster can turnover a lot in 1-3 years. They're in it for the longhaul, and should coach with schemes they feel most comfortable in, not what the players they didn't draft/sign feel comfortable in.

    The transition takes time, nobody here argued that. Frankly, I think the D has looked ok considering how long they have to be on the field. A competent offence would make the D look way better.

    As mentioned earlier, this is the year for the coaching staff to see what they have. Then they can finish the year and go into the draft/off season with a plan having worked with everyone on the roster for a year. Turning back to a 4-3 for the remainder of this year would be stupid. They need to know who fits and who doesn't.

    If Jake can't go this weekend, I want to see Mett start over CBJ. A game or 2 won't tell the whole story, but I'd rather him get a couple starts so they have some game film to decide on drafting a qb.

    Trouble with Mett leap frogging CBJ is that Mett has been getting 3rd string reps in practice, which is very very few.

    I dont think its fair to Mett to ask him to play after being inactive for 3 weeks.

    That's fair, kind of like setting him up for disappointment. On the flip side, what if they gave him first team reps all week in practice because Locker is hurt, would that be enough to get him ready?

    I watched yesterdays interview, and it almost sounded to me like Whiz is keeping the door open to doing that, but he wont say.

    IF Whiz wants to give Mett any real shot at wining, he needs to get him practicing with the 1's

    That is only true if you look at the score and literally give no extra thought into it. (I know, that's your thing).

    Our run defense hasn't been outstanding, but it has been above average. The biggest problems with our defense is an offense that is hot garbage and some DBs who don't even act like they are NFL caliber.

    Neither of those things are affected very much by the switch to a 3-4.(directly, anyway).

    On top of that, you said they would have trouble adjusting. Getting run on and having yards on you is a sign that you are bad, not confused.

    I have seen, statically speaking, far less blown coverages and missed assignments from last year to this year.

    I know there are exceptions to this.. And you play faster when you understand... Blah blah. Don't care. You said they would struggle to adjust, and just the fact that we have lost some games doesn't mean that is true.

    Edit:

    24th. Meh, that isn't above average. point stands. I don't think you can chalk it up to trouble adjusting, regardless.

    Yeah, I remember you raving about how good we were in the 4-3 and......well, nevermind lol.

    IMO this season we will struggle (as I have been saying for awhile now), but next season we will see this pay dividends.

    Stay the course IMO.
