Quick Bytes: Jags Will Utilize a 3-4 Defense

Then pardon my alcohol induced French but, you have got to be shitting me. Unless this team astonishes me we’’ll be in for the same type of mess as when teams torched Gregg Williams’ blitzes last year.

but thanks for the links guys

This is the perfect time to do so. I’m not a fan of the move at all but the Jaguars have a few tweeners and are in a good spot to draft a strong anchor for the center of the defense. It seems like the team is definitely throwing in the towel for next season though. It’s a little late and my brain is having trouble fully processing the move right now so I’m going to talk about it tomorrow

that this will not happen. Vic said in the past, that we have one guy to this scheme Groves. And according to him Harvey don’t fit in to a 3-4 scheme. Please not change year after year defensive philosophy, because it makes impossible to build this team’s defense.
Until lately 4-3 was good for this team. You change this, because some players got old???

While I’m not a big fan of having our third defense in just as many years, I have thought before this could be a possibility. You guys say it’s unrealistic, but it really isn’t all that far from possible. We really do need to trade John Henderson, and grab some picks. Once that happens Derek Landri and Rob Meier could be the ends. To make this move possible, we would have to draft B.J Raji to play NT. Then the backers could be Groves and maybe Harvey on the outside. Then Daryl Smith and Justin Durant/Clint Ingram on the inside.

The article said that the Jags will use the 3-4 some of the time. We could mix it up, and while I’m not sure what the clubs plans are, maybe they will use it some this season to eventually make the full switch.

I’m kind of exited to just see what happens. If it hits the fan, then we can just stay in a 4-3 until we can get better personnel to fit the system, however I think we have close to the players we need. The top defenses over the past few years have been 3-4s. From this year, Pittsburgh and Baltimore.

Every year the NFL has these trends that everyone starts thinking is the only way to win a Super Bowl. Last year it was the 4-3 DE, this year it’s the 3-4 outside linebacker. It’s a joke how copycat this league can be.

It would be heinous for the Jaguars to follow that trend and try to be a 3-4. They simply do not have the personnel even close to making it work. I would imagine worst defense in the league if they tried to make that switch.

Why not let all these other teams buy into the hype and select players that fit the 3-4 scheme and the Jaguars sit back to collect the best players that fit a 4-3? I can’t understand the people who are obsessed with this 3-4 crap.
