CaliforniaKid7 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 If Phillips comes is it an automatic 3-4 switch? The other two are more multiple correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble_Beast Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Wade Phillips will be 74 next year. He wasn’t good his last year with the Rams. Idk about that move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totty Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I don't want any coordinator that changes from 4-3, that process from one to another takes a while. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I love me some Wade, but his last stint flamed out. He's getting up there in age as well. I'm going to try and not get my hopes up. My expectations are low with Gruden and his staff choices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank, I think a 3-4 would probably suit our D better as is. Ferrell-Draft Pick-Crosby Littleton-Kwiatkowski-Morrow-Key Morrow looked decent in coverage and if we used Key as a QB spy/Rush LB, we're still essentially a 4-3 team without having to worry about finding a bunch of DTs (because even if we take 1 in the 1st round, we don't have particularly good ones as is). Keeps our "best" players on the field IMHO. Granted, this assumes we keep all of the above players, but I think you get the point. Our depth isn't very good, so scheming the best players on the field should be more important than any particular base set. Regardless, with our D-line being routinely abused, maybe less is more if we have more LBs involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 We don't have that many good players on the front 7 so it's not the end of the world to switch to a 3-4 D imo. I think Hankins could be a NT, Ferrell would be ok at DE, Crosby I don't think is strong enough at DE or fluid enough at LB. Littleton and Kwiat would be ok. I don't know, there just isn't much keeping us at a true 4-3 imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think Ferrell fits 3-4. Not entirely sure Crosby does. I’m not too concerned if moving to 3-4 requires big personnel changes. It’s not like we’re missing much by ripping up the current programme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfrey13 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Crosby would not be a starter but more of a situational pass rusher from OLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a shame because for a team that sucks at rushing the passer he's probably our best one. But he has been a disappointment for me given how poor he is vs. the run and how often he abandons his responsibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Wade Raheem Morris or Bradley could all work. I wonder if there’s an under the radar assistant coach who could pay off big time. I’ll do some digging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitty 2.0 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I'm going with Lovie Smith. The Raiders will run a Tampa 2 defense. Was a fan for quite a while it's more of a 1 gap aggressive system. No more thinking just shoot your gap.
