    3-4 works fine, great even...but you have to have the RIGHT kind of DL and LB's...we have neither....D heavy draft coming up.

    That's my feeling too. Have to give them credit, that OL paired with Lynch is just dominating, they'll steam roll plenty of other teams if they keep that up.

    We need to get back to establishing our own version of that. I feel like we got a bit antsy after that first half where they had 2 long drives and we weren't really able to establish our own run game.

    Outside of the Steelers that was the most complete offense we'll play this season. We had multiple rookies on the field playing defense. We'll be ok. You guys gotta breathe.

    The 3-4 only works when you have at least 2 really good LBs. Otherwise you're way too vulnerable in the middle of the field.

    But this topic is dumb, simply because it doesnt matter about if its a 3-4 or a 4-3

    Someone asked Belichick about it during a press conference last year or tghe year before. He said base defense means so little these days due to the passing game. Claims most teams are in nickel and dime packages more than their base 3-4 or 4-3 defenses.

    Its true

    look at the Giants, they run their 3WR set so often its nearly impossible to play base vs them...

    Outside of the Nose tackle 3-4 and 4-3 are interchangeable.

    Its was so hard watching our LBs try and cover, fricking Jared Cook was making plays and catching! Need more speed at LB

    Agreed. I absolutely hate the 3-4 and unless you have the perfect personnel the defense sucks. We need to go back to a 4-3 base and also mix in a lot of nickel

    Jayon Brown had excellent coverage on a Cook catch.

    Cook's first big catch on their first drive looked like a breakdown in coverage / miscommunication because of Lynch split out wide

    Our LBs were fine in coverage yday

    People are being completely unrealistic. The best defense in the league allowed 300 YPG last year. We gave up 359 to one of the best offenses in the league. Every single team in the league gets burnt, misses tackles, etc., Or else they all wouldn't be giving up over 300 YPG.
