    The linebackers we have are much more athletic than the D-linemen. This has always been the case, even when we ran a 4-3.

    There is no "magic" solution to any defensive issue. If there was, Rob Ryan would have figured it out long ago.

      Both have their ups and downs but overall i like the 3-4 a bit better, the biggest problem with a 3-4 is finding the right guys across the board to man it but once done, look out! hehehehe

      We have been rebuilding since 1964, Why stop now? GO BROWNS!

        Great idea,

        After your defense dismantled the Saints, the Browns need to be retooled so you can climb up in the draft. I mean we can't have your franchise winning now can we, I don't think the ERs in Cleveland would be prepared for all the heart attacks that could cause.

          it's the one and only thing your team does well and has done well the last couple of years. why would you want to change it?

          oh yeah, forgot who i was speaking to.

          with all i've heard about Big Ben being a rapist and i go to a online sex offender registry and look up cleveland and Pittsburgh and what do i find? cleveland has a CRAP load more sex offenders (and expecially child molesters) than Pittsburgh.......over 4X as many over all. 2055 of them to Pittsburgh's 421. www.familywatchdog.us better never hear one of you date raping, can't get a woman with my tiny peep unless i hold her down, child molesting hypocrits say anything else about Ben.

            they really didnt run the 3-4 very much at all against the saints

            there were a lot of packages with only 1 or 2 defensive linemen, 4 or 5 LBs and lots and lots of DBs

              Lmao some of you guys need to relax. I said "I'm not saying we do this".

              Simply a thought of what the D would look like if we WERE to switch to the 4-3.

                Your guys D is why u have a good team. You have the personel to run it, esp the LB's. Its a little different from ours, but that doesn't meqn its worse. Rob R. is making a name for himself, hopefully he doesn't get offers to become a HC too soon for the Browns sake. With McCoy in place at the QB pos. I see good things for the Browns. Seriously, u can see the change and discipline. I'm getting a little off track here, but its exciting to see u guys turning around.

                  I dont want to switch but I will say this...

                  When only a few teams ran 3-4, it was much easier to find the parts to run it which in some ways are far more specific than that of the 4-3 personnel. Now, with more teams running 3-4, I was wondering if the 4-3 parts are easier to find.

                  For example, now, when a prototypical 3-4 nose tackle comes out, every 3-4 team is tripping over themselves to get him.

                    I'm not saying we do it, but has anyone ever thought about this? This defense has a lot of potential. Especially the run D.

                    I mean, Shaun Rogers is better with 4-3 seeing as how he's a 3-tech tackle.

                    Thoughts?

                      That's not true. Kenyon Coleman is a straight 5-technique, Rubin is a great 0-technique and Shaun Rogers can be whatever the hell he wants to be. The problem is the "wants" part. Shaun Rogers is a great 0-technique until he decides to play 1-gap and give up 55 yards to Michael Turner on one play. Sheldon Brown makes a great 3-4 corner if only he were just a little faster but that would burn him in the 4-3 too. Matt Roth is coming on as a rush backer and David Bowens still plays ILB well. Scott Fujita just made ten friggin' tackles in this defense.
