MacReady Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 4-3 works better than 3-4 in Madden. I have held off on buying Madden. This is the longest in my life I have gone without buying the newest version of Madden. I am sacrificing my leisure time for the Packers. Cannot say how well our current defensive roster would do in a 4-3 until the Patriots are eliminated from the playoffs and as long as the Packers are still in it. @Packerraymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The group of Adams, Lowry, Lancaster have just not cut it in terms of quality play/production. I was hopeful that Adams would provide better play, but that has just not happened. Early on in training camp I had heard rumors of this raw new kid Lancaster and how much of a breakout he could have this season. I went to training camp to watch and even heard a fan raving about how good he looks in shorts and we won't be missing Daniels one bit. Well playing in pads is different. Lowry to me is so/so. Lancaster, Adams, etc. all need to do a little more. I still think a early draft pick at this position wouldn't be out of the question. Heck I'm even for packing 10 more pounds on Gary and putting his hand in the dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 A 4-3 defense requires more investment in "off ball" LBs than a 3-4 does. Why on earth would we want to do that considering the state of that group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I just want to make this post to explain how sad I am about Montravius Adams not being an impact player. I was pretty hyped about him post draft... thought he could be something in this league, and that seems far fetched at this point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can definitely do better and should add talent in the group but I wouldn’t call the situation sad. I’d take our current group over pretty much any line from 13-17 There was no reason to pay Lowry that contract and as far as my eyes told me he regressed this and regressed a lot.

I was all for that Lowry contract but boy was I wrong on that one. He's got the physical build for the position, but he doesn't have the tools to beat double teams and gets locked up too easily by opposing linemen.

Not just Lowry ... except for Clark , Packers need a revamped interior DL. Maybe Keke will pan out but everybody else can be long gone. If they have another season of not being able scheme wise to stop the run ... Pettine can join them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowry doesn’t even make that much. 6m a year in 2020 is fringe starter second contract money which he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are trying to say the Packers use a 4-3, not really. They use some even fronts, even 4 with the edge standing up in the nickle but they never use 4 actual down linemen with 3 off ball LB.

Using an even front isn't a 4-3 if it's a nickle or dime package especially. They never use 3 off ball LB period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I despise the 2 down linemen...unless its obvious passing downs and you run 3 OLB with the 2 down lineman, it just leaves you vulnerable to the run...especially when you typically have just one ILB.
