just go to a 4-3 ffs

Dick Jauron had Sheard at DE too. That didn't suck.
Nope....if folks remember, Sheard had a very strong rookie year and quickly became one of my favorite Browns and one, I was hoping, would develop into a GREAT player....
But, in year 2, following his strong showing at DE......Ray Horton showed up and switched him (and Paul "same story" Kruger) to OLB......the rest is (very ugly) history...

Zactly! But yeah, Sheard was a Defensive Player of the Year in the Big East coming out of a 3 point stance before Jauron tapped his assets. Horton came in and renamed him "Stay." These young edge rushers used to exploding up field aren't used to "Come here STAY" commands. I've seen a lot of paralysis from analysis from guys trying to make the transition from DE to OLB. It's a big reason I remain reluctant to trust it over the years Mud.

Please, PLEASE let us play a 4-3.
I'm certainly no expert, but the 3-4 has always struck me as a game long prevent D & I despise prevent Ds.
Let the young guys learn OJT.....my choices for front 7.....
Nassib, Shelton, Meder, Ogbah
Orchard, Davis, Kirksey.

Here's the thing. The differences in personnel between the schemes are really only incredibly different at the backers. Beyond that the lineman are still very similar. Except the Nose might be a bit of a bigger guy asked to two gap on occasion.
You don't have an issue with the 34 itself. You have an issue with your pass rushers and your gap assignments.
Those same problems will transcend scheme.
Can't rush the passer now? You won't consistently doing it the other way either. Can't stop the run? Same thing.
Not sure, tia...
Only through the 1st QTR of the Bears preseason game, but it seems to me we play with a different attitude in 4-3. Could be as simple as our rook "DEs'" comfort level with being in a 3-point, but that ain't nothing.

Hence my emphasis on mentioning the biggest difference are the OLB's.
To me, finding a collegiate DE and turning him into successful 2pt player might be the hardest thing to project and coach. It takes quite a while before you reap any real benefits.
Biggest exceptions to that rule I can think of would be Aldon Smith and Mack. However both of those players had time and coaching as rush linebackers while still in school. Now that I think of it, Aldon really didn't play from a 2pt much in his monster rookie year. Ogba and Carl have not received
that type of time at the position before. Plus I don't see either possessing the physical makeup for the spot.
Seeing that most defenses spend their time in the nickel, I'd say we'll be in our four man front 65-70% of the time.

Let's go through an entire draft, training camp, and two rounds of cuts assuming a 3-4.... and then switch to a 4-3.

I wouldnt disagree if we gadnt drafted two primary pass rushers that currently at least look "way" better in the 4-3. Im not clamoring for 4-3 cause i like seeing 4 dreamy studs bent over at the line, although..............,,.?

I've always preferred the 4-3 system unless you absolutely do not have enough big guys to staff the D line.

What I would say is suit your defense to match your talent. If we have the DL to play 4-3....and we don't have the LBs to play 3-4, then play 4-3...and vice versa.

Except we've been drafting the last 4 years for a predominantly 3-4 defence.

But in Browns fashion, they ended up drafting players that are better suited for a 4-3 haha.

The only issue I see with switching to a 4-3 is that whilst Shelton and Meder would be OK in the middle, we're a bit thin thereafter. Cooper, maybe, Hughes maybe.

Sure. Any of those guys get your motor going as 4-3 DTs? Not quite Geno Atkins and Gerald McCoy.

Paea could be something but the others are filler.
Do any of them give you the warm and fuzzies as 3-4 DTs?

Paea I believe is the town at sea level that you bike to when you start off at 11K+ elevation at the top of Haleakala. You go from there to Paea and you only have to pedal like twice.

Nope. But Nassib does somewhat in that role. Still a single offseason with a decent investment at the position and a 4-3 is very possible. Though you could say the same about the 3-4, just need a top DE.

Not like there were a lot of other choices in the 60's and 70's...

I've always liked Hughes best as a 4-3 DT.

Both nassib and ogbah are 4-3 guys mate. In fact, if sny of those two could hack the 3-4 i think its nassib. Ogbah is way too stiff for 3-4 olb'er
