can anyone explain a 3-4 positional breakdown?
you guys probaly know what to look for in players better than i would and a fellow poster could use some coachin up....
I know the D-line consists of basically two 4-3 type DT's sittin at D ends bein cogs.... and also it seems like it all starts with monsterous NG's... not very many successful 3-4's without a dominant NG... if that's the case that's just gotta move haynesworth even higher on peoples wishlist... and also bowlen seems to let new coaches spend some $ on building thier schemes last few years
linebackers I'm not real sure on middle i think size becomes a factor again as they will play head up with an o lineman.... outside obviously you want some tweeners i think most people have a grasp on what you look for there...
which brings me to the secondary?? no idea what you'd look for there?
would appriciate some feedback

what you look for a in a 3-4 secondary is a champ bailey.
i think we have one.
we could also use an ed reed.
basically the 3-4 is known to cause a lot of pressure forcing qb's to make bad throws so a ball hawking secondary is probably the best to have. atleast a ball hawking saftey

3-4 ........ First you need a monster for a Nose tackle , with out that , you are screwed , then you want some tweeners Line Backers / DE types , and then you want head hunter for one safety and a ball hawk for the other , but most of all you have to control the center and a guard ......

If I had to guess, I would guess they are going to move Robertson back to NT and pair him up with a rookie at that spot.
I guess Thomas and Peterson will man the DE spots.
Larson and DJ will take the inside backer spots while Moss and Doom take outside, or possible Crowder.
I am sure, we are going to need a lot of work on the front 7 if we want to go to a 3-4.
Well actually we need a lot of work on our front 7 regardless of what scheme we want to run

Fairbanks - Bullough 3-4 defensive system
The New England Patriots run a modified base 3-4 Chuck Fairbanks - Hank Bullough system[10] installed by Bill Belichick. The term 3-4 means that their base formation consists of 3 defensive linemen (defensive end, nose tackle, and defensive end), 4 linebackers (outside "Jack" weak side linebacker, middle "Will" weak side linebacker, middle "Mike" strong side linebacker, and outside "Sam" strong side linebacker), and 4 defensive backs (cornerback, free safety, strong safety, and cornerback)[11]. In the Patriots system the inside linebackers are the "Will" and "Mike" linebackers[12]. It is believed that this 3-4 structure gives the defense the greatest amount of flexibility because the linebackers are among the most versatile players on the defense, capable of doing any of the following: rushing the quarterback, tackling runners or dropping into coverage. By mixing the roles of their linebackers from play to play, the Patriots defense seeks to cause confusion on the part of opposing offenses. At times the Patriots will also shade their defensive linemen different ways, creating "over" or "under" defenses. "Over" and "under" defenses simply refer to the shift of the defensive linemen to the strong or weak side of the offense, respectively, and the rotation of the linebackers in the opposite direction. Chuck Fairbanks was a head coach for the National Football Leagues New England Patriots. ... Hank Bullough is a former head coach of the Buffalo Bills. ... A defensive lineman is any of the down positions on the defensive side of American football. ... A linebacker is a position in American and Canadian football. ... Defensive back (DB) is a player in American football whose role is primarily pass coverage; that is, the defensive back will stay near a receiver and try to deflect or intercept any passes thrown to him. ...
The "Fairbanks - Bullough" 3-4 system is known as a two gap system[13], because each of the defensive linemen are required to cover the gaps to both sides of the offensive lineman that try to block them[14]. Defensive linemen in this system tend to be stouter, as they need to be able to hold their place without being overwhelmed in order to allow the linebackers behind them to make plays[15]. This is the reason that defensive linemen such as Richard Seymour and Vince Wilfork do not always rack up gaudy sack and tackle statistics despite their critical importance to the team[16]. An offensive lineman (football) is one of a group of positions in American football. ... Richard Vershaun Seymour (born October 6, 1979 in Gadsden, South Carolina) is an American football defensive lineman for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. ... Vincent Lamar Wilfork (born November 4, 1981 in Boynton Beach, Florida) is an American football defensive tackle who currently plays for the New England Patriots of the National Football League. ...
The system is at times more conservative than certain other defenses currently in vogue in the league[17], despite the constant threat of its potent linebacker blitz. The Patriots defensive system generally places an emphasis on physicality and discipline over mobility and risk taking and is sometimes characterized as a "bend but do not break defense"[18].
The 3-4 defense was originally devised by Bud Wilkinson at the University of Oklahoma in the late 1940s[19]. Former Patriots and Oklahoma coach Chuck Fairbanks is credited with being a major figure in first bringing the 3-4 defense to the NFL in 1974[20]. Patriots defensive coordinator Hank Bullough made significant further innovations to the system[21]. Parcells was linebackers coach under Ron Erhardt as head coach of the Patriots in 1980 (after Fairbanks left for Colorado in 1978 and Bullough lost out on the head coaching position). When Parcells returned to the Giants as defensive coordinator under Ray Perkins in 1981, he brought the 3-4 defense with him. Charles Burnham Bud Wilkinson (April 23, 1916–February 9, 1994) was an American football player, coach, and broadcaster. ... The University of Oklahoma features 17 varsity sports teams. ...

Bill Belichick was initially exposed to the 3-4 defense while working as an assistant under Red Miller, head coach of the Denver Broncos and a former Patriots offensive coordinator under Fairbanks. Joe Collier was the defensive coordinator under Red Miller at the time[22], and his orange crush defense was very successful at stifling opposing offenses. The Broncos had decided to adopt the 3-4 in 1977. Bill Belichick subsequently refined his understanding of the 3-4 as a linebackers coach and defensive coordinator under Parcells with the Giants. Belichick returned the 3-4 defense back to New England when he become coach of the team in 2000[23]. Romeo Crennel subsequently became defensive coordinator for the team.

Other teams running similar defensive systems
Bill Parcells ran the Fairbanks - Bullough 3-4 defensive system during his coaching years[24].

Comparison to other 3-4 systems
The "Phillips 3-4", a one-gap version of the 3-4, was also brought into the league by Bum Phillips, head coach of the Houston Oilers in the 1970s. The Phillips 3-4 defense is currently run by the San Diego Chargers as well as the Dallas Cowboys now being coached by Wade Phillips, the son of Bum Phillips. Wade Phillips replaced Joe Collier as defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos in 1989. The modern Phillips 3-4 is largely a one gap 3-4 system, meaning that the defensive linemen are often only responsible for one gap between the offensive linemen[25]. The linemen can afford to be more aggressive because they receive more support from the linebackers in performing their roles. This system generally prefers relatively lighter, more agile lineman better able to perform aggressive slants, loops and gap charges in order to directly attempt to sack the quarterback and make tackles[26].

I also would really like to bring in Suggs to be one of our OLB, because in the best case scenario, 1 of either Doom or Moss will be good for us and that might be a pipe dream.

It sounds like we want to move more towords a Phillips 3-4 system given the LB corp we have today.

It's hard to say because we haven't heard any of the new coaching staffs plans for the defense. No doubt though if we are going 3-4 we need to get bigger upfront and at linebacker.
I'd say Broncos main goals will be to find a DT with some size and some ends that can hold the edge and rush the passer.
I'm really curious to see if the new staff has any faith in Moss or Dumerville to play standing up at the Jack spot in a 3-4.

A good but very long breakdown...
The 3-4 Defense: A Primer
I am writing this piece in response to some of the announcers and writers out there that obviously wouldn't know the difference between a 3-4 defense and a punt formation. And there might be some fans out there that do not know when they are seeing a 3-4 or a 4-3 or what the differences are. To some it might seem redundant and to others informative.
As always, I write with out the benefit of a proofer, so please ignore typos, etc.
Unfortunately, I cannot (or don't know how to) include diagrams. If some of it might seem confusing in reading I suggest the following: diagram out a typical offensive formation or offensive line. Mark the gaps as A, B, C, D with the center-guard gap being the "A", the guard-tackle the "B", the tackle-tight end being the "C", outside of the tight end is the "D". To designate the "techniques" (where the players align in opposition to the offensive line), start with the center as "0", his outside shoulder is "1", the gap between center-guard is "2", the inside shoulder of the guard is "3", and so on. Adding a "0" to any of these numbers would indicate a LB lining up off the line of scrimmage. I hope that this helps. In addition, and excellent resource (with diagrams) can be found at http://www.footballoutsiders.com/str...asics-mind-gap
The 3-4 might seem like a recent innovation. In fact, it has been around for a relatively long time. The system had been in use on the collegiate level since the 40's (Oklahoma is credited with its first use), but the defense looked vastly different as it was played very close to the line and every player was a brute. In 1970, in Superbowl IV, Hank Stramm wanted to utilize the strength of Curly Culp, a defensive lineman that was very strong and couldn't be blocked one-on-one. Stramm wanted Culp to tie up the Vikings All-Pro center Mick Tinglehoff and tie up additional guard support. He wanted to prevent the Vikings outstanding line from being able to pull and lead the great Vikings outside rushing attack. This worked out pretty well for the Chiefs as they dominated the heavily favored Vikings by holding them to just 67-yards rushing, 3 picks, and recovering 2 fumbles.
Early innovators of the defense on the professional level were Coaches Bum Phillips, Chuck Fairbanks and Hank Bullough. Today, the most familiar 3-4 with 2-gap line technique (we will get to that later) is referred to as the Fairbanks-Bullough.
In the 80's, the success of the 49ers and Cowboys with the 4-3 alignment saw most of the other teams adopt it as their base defense. However, the recent success of the New England Patriots, utilizing the 3-4, has given new life to the 3-4 in the professional football level. "It's not so much that teams are changing," said coach Bill Parcells, who won his first Super Bowl title in 1991 using the 3-4. "It's the people that have become decision makers have backgrounds in that defense and that is what they are implementing." Patriots coach Bill Belichick first learned the 3-4 while working under Parcells. Browns coach Romeo Crennel, New England's former defensive coordinator, was an assistant on the same Giants staff. Nick Saban also worked with Belichick ... and on down the coaching tree.
So why the switch to the 3-4?
Proponents suggest it's most effective in combating today's sophisticated passing attacks, with their multiple formations and intricate routes, because a fourth linebacker allows a defense the luxury of disguising its blitzes and coverages better.
If the offensive guards are responsible for blocking the inside linebackers, the center has the nose tackle and the offensive tackles are designated to block the defensive ends, who's got the two outside linebackers? And where are they?
The 3-4 also can morph into a 4-3 in the blink of an eye. The 3-4's outside linebacker can quickly come up to the line of scrimmage, drop his hand down, and voila, 4-3. Or he can stay on the edge as a decoy, pick up a running back in the flat or cover the tight end.
"I'm not saying it's better," Parcells said. "Here's what I think some of the advantages are: At any time you can drop eight people into coverage, and that complicates things for the quarterback. Not many four-man line teams have the ability to do that.
"The second thing is it's more 1-on-1 football. It forces the offense to block more straight and use less angles than a gap defense does. Sometimes that's more difficult for the offense to do."
In the 4-3 defense, you need two very large and athletic defensive tackles and two somewhat large and very athletic defensive ends. These guys are very hard to find. If you can't find a couple of good defensive ends, you're in for a long season of living and dying by the blitz.
In the 3-4 defense, you need one really large nose tackle. This NT has to be a real monster of a guy, 350 pounds or so, because his job is to take on the center and one of the guards simultaneously on every single play. Then you get two more defensive tackles at around 300 pounds each, and play them up against the offensive tackles. All three of the defensive tackles have what is called a gap responsibility. They are expected to hit the offensive linemen head on, and watch the play to make sure the running back doesn't come through on either side of them. Also, they're expected to hold their block so that the offensive linemen can't get out and block a linebacker.
In the 3-4 system, the linebackers are expected to make most of the plays. In the 3-4 system, the DTs play a more physical game as they are taking on one or two offensive linemen directly, play after play. Unlike the DTs in the 4-3, the DTs in the 3-4 are responsible for every single gap in the offensive line. Although the DTs get relatively few chances to make tackles or sack the quarterback, anything bad that happens is still ultimately their fault.
In the 3-4, you have four linebackers. Two of these guys are inside linebackers, and are expected to weigh roughly 240 pounds and be quite athletic. You also have two outside linebackers. These guys are sometimes called "tweeners," as they are in between the normal size of defensive ends and linebackers. These guys should weigh perhaps 255-265 pounds and also be quite athletic. Because these are linebackers, they tend to be faster than the heavier defensive ends. Their presence makes it much more difficult for the quarterback to roll out, as he will be rolling out directly into the path of one of these linebackers.
The 3-4 is composed of 3 down lineman, 4 linebackers and 4 defensive backs.
The defensive line positions are 2 defensive tackles and 1 noseguard. Typically, the noseguard (NG) plays head-up on the center (OC). This known as the "0" technique. The defensive tackles (DT) line up just off the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle (OT) in what is known as the the "3" technique. The primary function of the DL is to protect the LBs and play the run. Each defensive lineman is responsible for 1 or 2 gaps, depending on the scheme being used.
NG is the toughest position to fill. The NG is head-up on the OC and is responsible for defending both "A" gaps ("A" gap is the gap between the OC and OG's. "B" gap is between OG and OT. "C" gap is between OT and TE.) in the running game. He faces constant double-teams and takes a pounding. He must have size, mental and physical toughness, stamina, durability, lateral quickness, and good technique in terms of playing with leverage. If the NT cannot hold his ground, the defense is very vulnerable to runs between the tackles.
DTs tend to weigh around 290-310, and many are former 4-3 DT/DE "tweeners". They must be able to play the run well. The 3-4 DT is responsible for the "B" and "C" gaps in the running game and lines up in either the "3" or "5" technique (head-up on the OT) position. It's tough for a 3-4 DE to pick up as many sacks as a 4-3 DE, because a 3-4 DE doesn't have the freedom to go willy nilly upfield. He has to protect the LBs in order for the 3-4 to work.
The inside linebackers must be stout in run support. Because there are only 3 DL to match up against 5 OL, they must be able to stack and shed an unblocked offensive lineman in the running game. The left inside linebacker is called the MIKE" linebacker (keep in mind that different teams might use different nomenclature for the different positions). He closely resembles his counterpart in the 4-3 except that he aligns himself in a 2" technique over the guard to the tight end side. The right inside linebacker, referred to as the MAC" Linebacker also aligns himself in a 2" technique except he is on the weak side away from the tight end. In the 3-4s most basic form both the MIKE and MAC linebackers have A" and "B" gap responsibility, so like the middle linebacker of the 4-3 they must play the run from the inside out. However, in many of the 3-4 schemes seen today you see the MAC" backer playing more of a weak side linebackers role and the MIKE can likewise find himself in the strong side role. The strong-side "MIKE", must have an attacking style of play to come up and meet a ball carrier at the line of scrimmage and be fast enough to string him out to the sideline. Though his first priority would be to stand the blocking back up in the hole yet plugging another running lane.The weak-side "MAC", is responsible for backside pursuit and must be disciplined enough not to overrun a play which could result in a big gain. Both players also must be able to blitz the QB and be able to drop into short zone depending on the defense called. Personnel wise the inside linebackers in the 3-4 are usually the prototypical linebacker that runs a 4.5 to 4.7 in the forty and stands 6 to 64tall at 240-255lbs. Most linebackers that play inside in a 3-4 scheme can usually translate well to the middle and weak side linebacking positions in a 4-3.
The two outside linebackers of the 3-4 defense have very similar jobs, especially in the very basic concept of the defense. An OLB in this defense is simply stated, the pass rusher. Both the SAM (strong-side) and WILL (weak-side) of the 3-4 will usually have D gap responsibility and will line up outside of the DE as a 5/7 technique (outside shoulder of either OT or TE). He is the guy who chases down the QB. His ideal frame is tall in the 6'4" range and normally anwhere from 240-260 lbs. Long arms are needed to disengage from NFL offensive tackles in the run game and also used in pass rush. They must be very fast as to be able to beat a Tackle to the corner in pass rush but also strong and athletic enough to utilize bull rush moves when needed. This player is also responsible for outside contain in the run game.
When Coach Hank Stram first introduced the 3-4 to the NFL it was four legitimate linebackers playing zone defense behind three down linemen. Later on teams started replacing one of those outside linebackers with a pure pass rusher and now the most prevalent version has both outside linebackers rushing the passer from a defense that more closely resembles a 5-2. On almost every play, 1 of the OLBs will rush the QB. The OLBs can play from a 2 or 3-point stance.
A cornerback (CB) in this defense has many different responsibilities from a traditional zone coverage CB. This player needs to be very fast with good ball skills as he plays alot of man coverage due to the schemes employed, dependant on what the front 7 does. Certain packages will also ask this player to play a variety of zones. The CB also be must tough enough to help support the outside run game. Normally, due to defensive formations, these players will line up on the WR with a 5 to 7 yard cushion as to not get **** the line scrimmage and surrender a deep pass play due to the extra safety playing in the box on run support, better known as cover 3. The roles of a CB vary greatly depending the defensive playcall and responsibility of the safety.
Like a Safety (S) in any defense, they must be able to play centerfield to be successful. Due to the versatility of the defense, its common to only have one deep safety in the pass game, which is why referring back the CB's will line up with a cushion b/c there isnt alot of help there. These players make all the secondary calls and must be strong in second level run support. The free safety (FS) is responsible for reading the offensive plays and covering deep passes. Depending on the defensive call, he may also provide run support. He is positioned 10 to 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage, toward the center of the field. He provides the last line of defense against running backs and receivers who get past the linebackers and cornerbacks. He must be a quick and smart player, capable of making tackles efficiently as well as reading the play and alerting his team of game situations.
The strong safety (SS) is usually larger than the free safety and is positioned relatively close to the line of scrimmage. He is often an integral part of the run defense, but is also responsible for defending against a pass; especially against passes to the tight-ends.
Without a doubt the 3-4 defense is the poster boy for flexibility. The strength of this defense rests in the number of quick footed athletes you can place on the field at the same time. It is so versatile of a defense that you could be in what appears to be a 5-2 defense on one play and then drop back in to a 4-2-5 zone on the next. Zone blitzing is especially effective from the 3-4 because you have so many players who can do similar things. You almost have endless combinations of the zone blitzes you can call. This is what has made Bill Belichick and Romeo Crennel so successful over the past; they were completely unpredictable and nobody had any idea what they are going to do next. They did so many different things every week that at times it seemed like they were drawing defensive calls out of a hat.
On the defensive line, the two most commonly used schemes are the "2" and "1" gap. In the "2" gap, the defensive lineman are responsible for the gap to either side of their technique. For instance, the NG, in a "0" technique (head up on the center) would have the job of covering either gap between the OC and the OG's. He accomplishes this by driving into the OC and then shedding him once he reads which gap the play will come to. At the very least, he hopes to tie up the OC and at least one of the OG's and keep them off the inside linebackers. Same applies for the DT's. This is why in a typical 3-4 defense, the ILB's will have the majority of the tackles. The "2" gap is usually know as the Fairbanks-Bullough, named after Chuck Fairbanks and Hank Bullough, two early innovators of the 3-4 as mentioned previously.
In the "1" gap, the defensive lineman will have a single gap responsibility. This system is not what people think of when they think of the 3-4, because the original 3-4 was/is strictly a 2-gap system. The Phillips is named after "Bum Phillips". Bum learned under Paul "Bear" Bryant at A&M and had coached high school football well enough to break into the college ranks (not a common route). He was a defensive coordinator in SD, then in HOU (that's the Oilers for you young folks). He later was a head coach in HOU and later for NO.
Phillips was an innovator who turned the 3-4 upside down. His system is one-gap. The DL penetrates, and is charged with constant harrasment of the QB. The LBs are typically fast, and at least one of them will blitz on any given play.
The reason for the near constant 1-LB blitz is to account for the fact that the outnumbered DL is also relatively undersized and only one-gapping. However, the adjustments work out well. The OL never knows who the blitzer will be, or where he will come from. The Phillips is more aggressive that the Bullough. The school of thought for the Phillips 3-4 is the need to pressure against the QB to stop the pass threat, and this is done by varying who the "fourth rusher" (who is really a blitzer) is. Add another blitzer in here and there, and the speedy/aggressive Phillips system is a threat to QBs, and attempts to get turnovers by slashing the time that a QB has to make decisions.
Another system is the Lebeau Zone Blitz and the theme for the Lebeau system is attack, attack, attack. The Zone Blitz is very nasty thing to deal with. In terms of player types, one can vary the NT type and even the DEs, but 1 gap speed DEs are much more common.
The zone blitz play (also know as a zone fire play) has been around for ages. Dick Lebeau took the play and turned it into a full system for Pittsburgh in the early 90's. He tried his hand at head coaching and being a coordinator elsewhere, but with little success. He doesn't seem to be a good manager, and isn't great at adopting to the existing systems of other teams. What Lebeau is know for it two things. His players love him (they play hard for him), and he is an excellent theoretician who develops elaborate plays with many twists.
The idea is that the different DLs will often drop back into coverage, while several linebackers (and even defensive backs) will blitz. The OL can't brace themselves, because if they do they will likely brace for the wrong assault. This is the one defense that prides itsself on turning the tables - the defensive line and the LBs hit the OL hard and often and try to wear down the other side.
CBs most often jam or jack the WRs , then either drop into zone or blitz. SAFs either zone or blitz (a safety blitz is called a "monster"), the LBs blitz most often, and sometimes zone, the DL either rushes or ends up in zone. It's a very fun defense to watch.
This defense tries to stop the run by penetrating the OL and disrupting the offense's backfield. They stop the pass by targetting the QB with heavy blitz packages. The zone blitz is very effective against screen passes, wreaks havoc against check offs by QBs (because the zones can't be anticipated, nor can the rush), and is the only major defensive scheme that is predicated on wearing down the OL instead of the OL wearing down the DL. For these reasons, the timing system used by many spread offenses can face more troubles here than in many other systems.
There is one glaring weakness. You drop a DL into a zone and the blitz doesn't hurry the QB and the QB has a quick-realease for an arm... well your defensive lineman isn't probably going to match a WR or TE going for a reception, is he?
Another scheme that makes the 3-4 so flexible is the Over/Under. In this alignment, the linebackers rotate can "rotate" or "slide" to the "Over" (towards the strong side) or the "Under" (towards the weak side). The rotating OLB moves up to the line of scrimmage and plays the "50" or "60" technique (adding the "0" means he is lined up off the line of scrimmage on the OT or TE outside shoulder). He can be in either a three-point or two-point stance. The two ILB's rotate to a "40" and "10" technique and the backside OLB now plays the "40" technique. While this alignment can easily be confused with a 4-3, it is definitely different. Either OLB can be in blitz, stunt or coverage. By moving the OLB to a "60" technique (slightly outside of the TE) it puts him in great position to either jam the TE, a speed rush, or coverage in the shallow flats. Also, the backside OLB can loop around the tackle for an outside rush or overload the weak side protection by blitzing the "A", "B", or "C" gap. The Over/Under also yields itself well to the zone blitz and makes it very easy to disguise coverages.

I'm also curious as to if Crowder can be used for anything? Isn't he about 280 pounds? you would have thought since he made team that he would have played some.
Very upset that neither Moss or Crowder has done a damn thing. Had even one of them worked out last yr may have been different.
Just a couple more defenders playing well and sometimes role players who looked like crap before start making plays.
If Broncos can get some things going on around the QB maybe our corners and safety's wouldn't look so utterly helpless all the time.
Also I noticed today often Pitt CB were playing 10 yrds of the WR just like we do. Difference? pressure on the QB and linebackers and dlineman who kill the RB.

By the way that was a great read Dave.
It's obvious to me even if we ran a 4-3 we needed bigger MLB. DJ I think would be a little small but I think he can do it inside ina 3-4, maybe Larsen as well. No doubt though broncos will look to add a good inside backer.
As for outside linebackers in a 3-4 we are a mess. Boss Bailey? No way, Woodyard way to small for outside, and also too small for inside. Winborn I don't think so.
If we go 3-4 I would imagine Broncos make a huge push for a guy like Suggs.

I still think Woodyard can play ILB. James Farrior was weighing in at 218 pounds in December. It's easy to discount WW as an ILB in a 3-4 because of his weight, but I think he will prove people wrong. I guess we'll see how it all shakes out.

I say yes to the 3-4
btw, an added bonus is that the special teams should also improve with the extra LB types on the roster.

Mmmm, I hope Thomas can be retained and used at the DE spots. He's been one of our best DL players, it'd be a shame to lose the one draft pick we finally seem to have hit on.

Brandon Spikes would be a good pick up for this defense. He can do it all; Rush, tackle, cover...

I would not be surprised at all to see him as a starter by the end of TC next year.
Wow, this is going to be interesting.

We have been looking at Rey and Spikes because of a 4-3 MLB spot, but shouldn't we be talking about the potential of Curry as a 3-4 OLB?

AJ Smith!
Dumerville COULD make a massive leap as OLB in the 3-4 ... depends on how he adapts though, so we can figure out which OLB/side!
Dump the Suggs idea, you seen the "after the ball" crap he pulls Putting your hand on the throat of a DOWNED Miami RB after the play was done is absolute crap, and should not be ignored. Let him go "implode" on some other team with his cheap/macho/thug/crap!

We need linemen more than anything to play the 3-4. We need a NG desperately, as well as at least a pair of 2-gap DE's. Carlton Powell could MAYBE play one of the DE's, he is a run stopper and has faced double teams before, he is pretty good at facing the play and uses a stacks the point of attack more than he relies on quick burst like Thomas.
If we do switch to 3-4 I expect our 1st draft pick will be BJ Raji who will go in a rotation at NG right away. I expect we will be after a smallish DT in the middle rounds, maybe one of the Georgia Tech guys.
If he is still there in the 2nd round Cushing could come into play as an OLB. He is a Calvin Pace clone.
I think Jarvis Moss will get looks at OLB, a lot of people liked him as a 3-4 OLB in the draft back then.

If not? Then I'd prefer BJ Raji who would be a dynamic NT.
I like some of the talent we have for a 3-4 though.
Thomas is an excellent option for the 3-4 DE job, and I think Crowder could be solid in the weakside DE role. Robertson has played in the 3-4 at NT, while he was only average there he'd make a solid stop gap option while we train our long term NT (Raji hopefully).
At OLB, well, I think it might be the position that best suits Jarvis Moss at this point, since he clearly can't add weight, and the 3-4 OLB is probably the only position Dumervil might be an every down starter in. Even if he isn't I think he'd play well as an OLB who gets up on the line in a three point stance a la Willie McGinest.
Inside the MAC or Will role (weak side ILB) is a good fit for DJ, much like it was a good fit this year for Carlos Dansby. Larsen also finds an immediate home in the starting lineup next to him as the Mike (strong side ILB).
We'll need to get a lot of extra depth across the board in the front seven, but our young high potential guys almost all find a home. Woodyard is the tough one to place but I don't really rule him out, guy is a gamer and he's always finding a way to get on the field.

I would love to see that safety from USC now more than before, what a monster he could be if we straighten our line out

So yes, Farrior WAS 218.

I've read about using all of these. Flaked is the easiest, followed by cracked, and then whole kernel.
I'm a beer maker, and have a grain crusher (corona mill).
I look online and it's 52.99 plus shipping for flaked maize, and it's ~$12 for 50 lbs of cracked or whole kernel corn at my local feed store. Because of this I'm more inclined to give the feed store a go.
Malting corn, removing the endosperms, drying, then crushing sounds like a pain in the butt but I'll give it a go if I'm convinced it's worth it. If it isn't can I substitute cracked corn for the same volume of flaked corn in a recipe.
Basically I want to be convinced I shouldn't buy flaked maize/corn and should go with the local feed store. Thoughts? (fyi I know not to get corn coated in anything)

Andrew senior headed for halls of Harvard
By Cheryl Dangel Bartolini Correspondent May 9, 2014 4:52PM
Christopher Marquez, of Andrew High School in Tinley Park, plans to attend Harvard University. | Supplied photo by Nancy Maracic
Updated: June 13, 2014 6:13AM
Christopher Marquez soon will be packing his bags for Cambridge, Mass.
Come next school year, the Andrew High School senior — who always has been told not to settle for second-best — will be attending Harvard University.
That will be just the cherry on the top of an outstanding high school career.
Marquez, 18, has participated in a wide variety of activities at school, including Scholastic Bowl, science club, National Honor Society, Green Team (an environmental club), and Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering. He's also vice president of Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society, and is a tutor in the World Language Center.
He also is dedicated to the Orland Grassland Volunteers program, working to collect seeds, clear brush and eliminate invasive plants in the Cook County forest preserve.
In addition, he has challenged himself by taking the most rigorous and academically challenging courses throughout high school. It was recently announced that he is a Commended Student in the 2014 National Merit Scholarship Corp. program.
"In school, everything has been fun," said Marquez, who found it hard to choose just one activity to call his favorite.
Finally, he comes to a conclusion.
"My real passion," he said, "is the one thing I did over the summer at MIT."
He spent time last summer participating in MOSTEC, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Online Science, Technology & Engineering Community. It is an online course that MIT sponsors each summer for high school seniors throughout the United States. Students spend five days at MIT and six months taking the online course and working on their own research project.
The focus of the program was astrophysics. Marquez's research project studied supernova nucleosynthesis.
"In stars, most of the heavier atoms and elements are created through chaos and the natural release of energy," Marquez said, adding that the research helps scientists understand and explain what is commonly referred to as the "Big Bang" or how the universe started.
The course included everything from basic instruction to working out problems using images from space that students examined.
"We used software to understand what we were looking at," Marquez said.
"I was granted an interview with Nathan Sanders, a graduate student in astrophysics from Harvard with a PhD. He gave me information on the beginning of life. I think it is just really interesting," Marquez said.
He said his mentors are Andrew High School teachers Michael Duffy (history) and Eric Johnson (physics).
"I took one of Mr. Duffy's advanced-placement classes as a freshman, which hadn't been done before," Marquez said. "He gave me a good idea of what can be accomplished and helped me get ahead in high school.
"Mr. Johnson is a no-nonsense kind of person. He asks us to think conceptually. He doesn't want us to just 'plug and chug.' Thinking conceptually will help us later on."
At Harvard, he wants to major in engineering sciences along with economics.
"I'll see where I go from there," he said. "Eventually I want to go into business. Investment banking is looking like a good field to go into right now. I'd like to have my own business and retire early."
That's a lofty goal for Marquez, the son of Maria and Pascasio Marquez, of Orland Hills.
He said his family history is what drives him to succeed.
"I'm not trying to repeat history but break out of it," he said. "My parents are from Mexico. They had nothing. My dad married my mother and started from the ground up and raised me.
"They never let me settle for second-best. Even when I thought second-best was good enough, they pushed me."

Nonpharmacologic Interventions for Treatment-Resistant Depression in Adults
Background: Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
VNS involves surgically placed electrodes around the left vagus nerve to modulate mood and control seizures. A current of >1 milliamperes and a frequency of 1–145 Hertz is applied for 30 seconds every 5 minutes, generally for 10 weeks. VNS is approved by the FDA for treating TRD; however, availability of this treatment option is limited because its use in the United States is still largely investigational.

I'm a huge, HUGE mint fan. Mojitos, gum, Thin Mints, you name it; I even dig the taste of toothpaste. Unsurprisingly, then, if you combine mint with chocolate?
A lot of MCC recipes call for tons of green food coloring to get that nice green aesthetic going, but you can always skip it if you're not a fan of artificial dye.
Mint chocolate cupcakes, of course! Recipe.
I want to make whoopie with a mint chocolate chip whoopie pie. Figuratively speaking.
Mint chocolate chip pudding cake is my new friends with benefits.
Ice cream sandwiches from Country Living.
Cheesecake = HEAVEN.
And finally, that yummy-looking stuff up there is...wait for it..."mint chocolate chip dessert hummus." Yes. It's made with white kidney beans, and supposedly doesn't taste like beans. Go here if you're feeling brave.
Happy July weekending, Lovelies!

Small Businesses Can't Afford Not to Make This One Hire
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Facebook's (FB) announcement Tuesday of its new "Graph Search" probably has more than a few small-business owners scratching their heads. While the application makes searching on Facebook for similar interests easier and more relevant, the message to small-business owners is that being on Facebook -- and more generally being social-media savvy -- is no longer an option, but a necessity.
Social media was a dominant theme Tuesday during the Main Street Retailing Forum at the National Retail Federation's annual convention, held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. About 27,000 industry participants attended.
>>>Starbucks' Schultz: Washington is Dysfunctional
During the daylong presentations geared specifically to small and independent businesses, almost every speaker brought up the subject of how social media plays an important role in customer acquisition and retention.Social media is still an area that both big and small retailers are learning to navigate, said Janet Viane, vice president of marketing at Sears (SHLD), in her morning presentation titled "It Usually Starts on Main Street. ..." "We're still trying to figure out what to post on Facebook," Viane said. Sears owns Sears Roebuck and Co. and Kmart. "You take a risk when you're out there, you're very exposed." She noted that only 35% of small-business owners use social media. But it's a necessity, particularly the opportunities to bring in customers through "check-in" technology apps and QR codes. For some retailers, particularly brick-and-mortar retailers, social media might be too daunting to take on by themselves. With the lower-than-expected holiday retail sales numbers (increasing just 3% to $579.8 billion, according to the NRF), it seems even more important that retailers do all they can to get customers in the door. (Online sales during November and December were predicted to rise 12%, but fell short, climbing 11.1%, according to Shop.org, NRF's digital division.)

On Being a Photographer's Baby
My sister launched her photography business shortly before getting pregnant. So she anxiously awaited her little bundle for the same reasons we all did — the coos and the cuddles and MY GOD THOSE LITTLE FEET — but she also had a few extra pregnancy thoughts mulling around in her pregnancy brain.
The handmade props and the newborn positions and the naptime photo shoots.
And, you guys, she is so lucky to have birthed the world's most photogenic baby. I mean, if there's anyone this baby should belong to, it might as well be a photographer:
Hi My Name is Benjamin
And I live for my close up.
See? Even My Skin Looks Like Porcelain
…adding to my doll-like appeal.
I Even Know My Finest Attributes
…like these irresistible toes I've got, here.
Who, Me?
N-no, this is how I lounge all the time. Oh really? It's photo worthy? Well, whattaya know.
Modeling certainly is exhausting. Nap time, Ma.

23 Years Ago: New Mexico Radio Station Plays 'Stairway to Heaven' for 24 Hours
Lots of people love Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven' — it isn't a beloved staple of classic rock radio for nothing — but on Jan. 23, 1991, KLSK-FM in Albuquerque, N.M. took that love to absurd new heights.
As part of a stunt conceived to draw attention to the station's recent format switch from new age to classic rock, owner and GM John Sebastian decided to spin 'Stairway' for 24 straight hours, perplexing listeners and stirring up enough off-the-wall rumors that local police were dispatched to the station. Twice.
According to the Music History Calendar, "Police showed up with guns drawn after a listener reported that the DJ had apparently suffered a heart attack, later because of suspicion that — this being 8 days into the Gulf War — the radio station had been taken hostage by terrorists dispatched by Zeppelin freak Saddam Hussein." But in the end, all that consternation was awfully good for ratings.
"I think everything in there sounds correct. I can't think of anything that isn't accurate," said Sebastian during a recent phone interview with Ultimate Classic Rock. "I remember it vividly." Of the police coming to the station, Sebastian recalled, "I think they did show up twice — I don't remember exactly what all the rumors were. There were lots of them, which was the whole idea, to get word of mouth spread, and it certainly worked."
The format change was necessitated by the fact that while KLSK had a small, dedicated audience as a New Age station, "It did pretty well, but it just wasn't making that much money." What they needed — aside from a playlist overhaul — was the kind of incident that would put them on the map. The 'Stairway' stunt, according to Sebastian, "spread the word so rapidly that even though we had like half a signal compared to the other Albuquerque stations, we went from nowhere to second in the market within just a couple of ratings periods. It really helped to get us off the ground, just by doing something as radical as playing 'Stairway to Heaven' over and over again."
