"Oakland's new quarterback led a long scoring drive on the first series of the game, Kamerion Wimbley had a strong game with four sacks and Slade Norris was a special teams standout Saturday night as the Raiders beat the Chicago Bears 32-17. "

Crazy. He always had the potential but wore out his welcome. Who did we end up getting for him anyway?
-
Colt McCoy.
Good luck to the guy. He didn't fit our defensive scheme, and we got decent compensation for him.

IMHO, except for his rookie season Wimbley was playing like a third round pick- certainly not what a stud OLB should look like. Once teams figured out he was a one trick pony with only an outside speed rush, he was neutralized. Maybe he's learned a new trick or two.

By the way, I was in that movie, One Trick Pony.
They filmed part of it at the Cleveland Agora. I spent a couple of hoursdoing the crowd scenes right in from of Paul Simon . He did talk to us. He was friendly, but shy. Not gregarious.

I think the raiders use a 4-3 base defense which is far more suited to wimplys playstyle of successful rushing only with little or no blocker interference ..same for DQJ he would be a rapist in a pure 4-3 base but can barely hold his own in a 3-4 base..
However now that ryan is moving us into a 34/43 hybrid defense system that may not reign true for jackson if he were out there..

why do so many teams who run the 3-4 draft 4-3 players and try to convert them to the 3-4? i've never been a fan of doing that.

Because many of the better pass rushing DE's in college are too small to project to 4-3 DE but are just the right size for 3-4 OLB.
In the end Wimps sack totals may go up a bit but he is going to get manhandled in the running game making him a overall liability unless he just comes in on obvious passing downs.
The guy is a classic example of a situational pass rusher.

You know what mangini thinks of one dimensional players . Wimpley is about 1/2 dimensional .

Wimbley's been working on a new move since his rookie season.
He doesn't have enough talent for the NFL.

The 4-3 is the predominant defense used in High School & College ball, so it's a no-brainer. There just aren't many "3-4 ready" players available & that's not changing overnight. Converting players is that much more of a risk, but if you run a 3-4, it is a risk you have to take.

Seems to me there is a AFC North team that does a pretty fine job in that regard.
