I heard on the radio on 790 if we went to the 3-4

Nolan, its his preferred defense to teach. We have a lot of players that would work in a 3-4 system. My opinion, Babs, Peria Jerry and Van Walker could all be DEs in the 3-4 Bierman, Spoon, also Lewis Sidbury size wise could all be linebackers in the 3-4 and Abe if he would do it. (he left the jets because they went to the 3-4)

So we would need 2 nose tackles. They have 2 coming out of UGA, totally 3 in the draft in the first round. That have already worked in a 3-4 defense.

That and some big ass linebackers to get drafted or free agents. We need 6ft 2-5 at least 250-260 LB line backers from the draft or free agency.

The last time the Falcons had the 3-4 they had Wade Phillios do it and you could tell he was waiting for the next years draft. But he got fired when Dan Reeves got canned, I always look at the Chargers 3-4 that could have been Atlantas.

We did it totally wrong then they had Patrick Kerney playing a DE in the 3-4 and he was getting thrown around like a rag doll, he only weighed 270 and a DE in the 3-4 has to be at least 300. He still got 7 sacks that year.

What Im getting at is, if they do it, they have to do it right, I think our secondary is fine, with a couple of changes, but left intact, but the front seven changed around to their correct weight and speed for the 3-4.

I would go for our strengths and Mike Nolans strength is the 3-4, look at the teams, hes coached? the 49ers, they went 3-4, The Broncos, they went 3-4, and last the Dolphins and they went 3-4 and they were last in defense year before last, then when Mike left to come here, they were in the top 10.

We just have to do it right, its a lot easier, to find 2 huge D-tackles and linebackers then to find a DE that's going to turn into worth a shit. Its not like were going to get Jarvis Jones.
