    Mina Kimes on the NFC West

    ESPN is in the entertainment business. She's an outstanding entertainer in this era of media. A hiring manager's job is to wade through qualified candidates and find the best fit. I've been the best qualified candidate for basically every job I've ever applied for, and only got a small...

    Chandler Jones?

    Would prefer Reddick, but sure

    Our front three under 3-4?

    Al Woods isn’t under contract. Mone will slide into one of the spots. Poona will probably play a “DE” spot. There are plenty of mediocre NTs available. The big question remains interior pass rush.

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    I mean, there is no measure by which we didn't have a top-10 defense in the second half of last year, and in many areas, considerably higher, especially on plays in which we called cover-3. Weird. I did a dive of 3-4 MLBs, and Barton (listed at 240) is actually slightly above average weight...

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Good post. I also had these thoughts, but thought it was too nuanced for the OP. We're obviously going to need two interior rushers on passing downs, still. And if Rasheem wasn't a FA, I'm sure he'd be in the rotation in one of them. That said, I think he's a better run player than a pass...

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Good post, I didn't want to get this far in the OP, but i'm really glad someone did.

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    I like him too, and if he was on the team, I wouldn’t cut him, but he’s a FA that has likely earned a mid-level contract. The average starting 3-4 DE weighs 298, and Green would be tied for the second smallest. He may even be closer to an OLB than a DE in this defense. I just don’t see a fit.

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Ah, yeah, I forgot about Collier. I think he can be your end of rotation guy there. He at least kinda has the body for it. As far as being long, I think it always helps, but the best 3-4 DE in the world is the same height as Poona. There were others I found, too. I know the average weight...

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Assuming we're going to go from "4-3 with 3-4 personnel (which was crap btw)" to an actual 3-4, I've been thinking a lot about our personnel and who may fit and where we have big needs. There are a few questions that we first need to deal with. Namely, what do we want out of our LBs? Do we...

    Pete is in wake up mode

    Nurse Betty. You're Nurse Betty. You've built this whole world view based on completely delusional thinking. Second half of the year, we rotated MOFO to MOFC often. When did we ever in the past several years run it up the gut and chuck it deep. And I'm sorry you can't see it, but the...

    Pete Carroll is amazing

    For a proud franchise that is so used to winning - to finish so strongly and manage to treat a meaningless week 18 game like a playoff game...the rarity of this is vastly underrated. I don't know what it will mean going forward, but that is a helluva coaching job.

    Penny's Running Style

    Shaun is a great comp and I've been saying it for four years. Elite 2nd level vision. Elite. Knows when to hit it. Smell the homerun. He is reading linebackers and safeties, but looks awful when a DL prevents him from getting to second level. As opposed to Carson, who will beat the DL every...

    DK Metcalf on running game forcing single-high safeties

    No. BS. I'm not letting you get away with this. For YEARS you said all we had to do was pass more and all of our problems would go away. Now that we see that this was never the case, you don't get to pretend to be someone else. At least own it, coward.
