Default What's the front 4 going to look like?

Give me your predictions on what the front four's going to look like on run stopping and passing downs now that Seymour's gone...

I'm going to go out on a limb:

DE: Burgess
DT: Wilfork
DT: Warren
DE: Green

Warren was a DT in college and I think he would be more effective inside than outside in a 4-3 scheme.

I had the same thought as you with Warren moving in next to Wilfork, it's nice having so much flexibility with defensive players.

My short answer is that we'll see when the roster is complete. I hope that we will still add two front seven players.

I'll go with a complete platoon:

Warren-Wilfork-Brace-Green on 1st down

Burgess-Wright-Pryor-TBC on passing downs.

Possibly one of the DTs will be inactive and Warren or Green can move inside on passing downs. The wild card for me is Thomas, who is, in the minds of many, their best pass rusher, but was not used in that capacity in pre-season. Not sure if BB was just saving him - if so, he can certainly platoon into one of the edge rusher positions.

I'm guessing.

Warren, Wilfork, Brace, and Green.

This looks spot on to me.

Default Re: What's the front 4 going to look like?

My base front 4:

Warren-Wilfork-Brace-Burgess

But I expect to see lots of different looks, with Brace, Pryor, Wright and Warren all getting time both inside and out, and Green, Burgess, Thomas, TBC and Ninkovich all getting time at 4-3 DE as well.
