Fact is, their linebackers aren’t great rushers… except maybe who’s really a DE. I think this is a great move overall, though definitely diminishes Pouha’s effectiveness since he’s more of a 3-4 Nose. Plus, we all saw how Vilma couldn’t go from 4-3 to 3-4; I worry a little about Harris moving from a 3-4 to a 4-3… totally different skill sets and reads.

The Jets are deep at D-line with great rushers all over and thin at LB. Now you can have Pouha, Wilkerson, Coples, and Maybin on the line and use Ellis, Dixon, and Tevaseu rotating in and have Pace, Harris, and either Bart or Westerman on the outside.

I like it… for now… let’s see how it turns out

Up front: Pats fan hear. I believe the only way the Bills, Fins, or Jets will be able to compete with the Pats, will be with their offense. You have to keep Tom Brady off the field and score touchdowns. The reason the Pats offense is so successful is because of the adjustments and tiring out of the opponents defense. There were a lot of games last season where the Pats started off very slow at the beginning, and then just kicked it into 5th gear with the no huddle and the opposing defenses couldn’t keep up.

The Problem is not the Jets, Bills or Fins Defenses. They are all solid. The Division is over reacting to Tom Brady. He has all the time in the world to pick apart teams. The hype of a massive pass rush is going to be moot with better/ different players. The Fins will be running a quick 3-5 step WCO and a plenty of Bootleg/Waggle rollouts. The Jets will run misdirection and Wildcats. The Bills with a healthy Fred Jackson and possibly a break-out year for Spiller can rely on Play Action. The bottom line is 4-3 is supposed to generate more edge rushing, but the right personnel in 3-4 will do the same and as for covering the favored TE and Slot sets of the Pats, better cover LB’s in a 3-4 is more effective unless you have a super athlete DE that can drop in coverage. Jason Taylor was one of them and I believe Quniton Coples will be too. My prediction is the Pats change it up.. Gronk will be covered, no surprises this year. Welker is awesome, but flat out lucky last year. Yes, he will be one of the best Slots, but not a 1000yd guy again. The Pats win the Division, but it will be much tougher and no more shootouts.

Natural pressure from the front is the obvious choice, but it’s much harder to get.

The Jets have been running a hybrid 3-4 for years now. In ’09 after we lost Kris Jenkins, we went to 4-3 almost exclusively to make up for the lack of meat. The thing that excites me about it is that the guy who taught the Vikes to go after the QB, Karl Dunbar, is teaching the line.

Brr the giants win 2 more rings in 15-20 years with a 3-4 base.
