Farm Implement Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 It would never be permanent, but I wpuld go with OLB---Barton ILB---Vilma ILB---Hobson (dude's a perfect 3-4 ILB imo) OLB---Mark Brown/McClover/Gardner The back ups any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YJF Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 If the Jets are converting to a base 3-4, who are the LB's on their roster? Jets actually have some interchangeable parts. Most 4-3 strong side linebackers make good 3-4 ILB's. The player who plays over The TE in The 4-3, usually makes a pretty good transition to the inside in The 3-4. You saw this when Jamie Sharper went from a strongside 4-3 OLB in Baltimore, to a 3-4 MLB in Houston. Victor Hobson would be excellent in a 3-4. Because he is a power player. Big 255 pound OLB. Eric Barton has some experience inside as well. John Abraham would be ideal as an edge rushing OLB in The 3-4. Ellis got 8 sacks as a 3-4 DE in his rookie season. He could easily play The 3-4. Jets starting 3-4 at LB would probably be. OLB-John Abraham ILB-Jonathan Vilma ILB-Victor Hobson OLB-Eric Barton Question would be what roles The Jets backup LB's could play in a 3-4. Barry Gardner can play inside and outside. McClover is a speed guy, So he's not really ideal for a 3-4. Mark Brown can play the strongside in a 4-3 and Inside in a 3-4. Bryan Thomas coming out of college was perfect for The 3-4 as an OLB when he came out and was 245 pounds. He's nearly 270 now, So he'd have to lose weight. Robertson, Ellis, Legree and Pouha would be good 3-4 D-lineman. All players over 280 plus pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardSeymour Posted May 7, 2005 Author Share Posted May 7, 2005 Even more than LB, BB loves his athletic young DLs.... Seymour--- 25 y.o. #6 overall pick Warren--- 24 y.o. #13 overall pick Wilfork--- 23 y.o. #21 overall pick Green--- 26 y.o. Quality DE. Hill--- 22 y.o. 2nd rounder. Bailey--- 25. y.o. RFA addition. Kelley--- 25 y.o. Unproven. For comparison, the oldest of these guys (Green) is a year and a half younger than Shaun Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but Green is nowhere near the player Ellis is and Green is a good player. Pats have done a great job compiling talent on the d-line. I think Hill has a chance to be real good. 3-4 defensive lineman are all defensive tackles. Not one true 4-3 DE in that group, you just listed. It's not a glamour or stats position. Job is essentially to tie up blockers so that The LB's can run free to the ball. Seymour keeps making pro bowls as a DT when he really plays DE primarily in The 3-4. Most sacks he has ever had in a season is I believe 8. Think he had 5 last year. That's alot for a 3-4 DE actually. Seymour is an excellent player.

PatsFanTX Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Chad Brown can play ILB but his strength is not stopping the run. He's a pass rusher. At his age and with his history of injuries, It's a roll of the dice to ask him to be a fulltime ILB. I totally agree with that. Brown's strength is coming off the edge. Just a hunch, but I think Ryan Claridge sees significant playing time in the middle this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Just has to share what my favorite Jet fan had to say about the Chad Brown signing: "Another old retread way past his prime. Belichick is afraid to coach a young player and put him into the spotlight right away." Anybody want to guess what dumbass idiot uttered those words of wisdom?

PFSIKH Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Jamie Sharper would've been a much better signing mostly because he is younger and a better player but Chad Brown is still a very nice pick-up. My question is: What happened to Roosevelt Colvin over there after he missed all of 03, he barely played last year from what I saw. This is his make or break year, especially at the salary the Patriots signed him to (5year-27 million). Deon Grant of the Panthers who suffered a similar injury said it took him almost 18 months to feel comfortable. Colvin was sporadic at best early in the season by mixing in good plays with being invisible. By the end of the season he was ooming on and he had a real good Superbowl in which he was extremely disruptive. Tex - Who is it? I would say EB50, but he said it was a good move.

FlyingElvis Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I love the way he asks why we Pats fans think every move Belichik makes is "Golden" Must be the collection of Lombardi trophies clouding our judgement. I personally would have passed on Brown(he's a great signing IF healthy),...but just KNOW they brought him in with a goal in mind. And until they stop winning regularly, who am I to question?
