Are you implying romeo wasn't a good coordinator?

Not in the slightest, I'm telling you that you're misguided if you believe Patriots fans don't realize or appreciate the job Romeo Crennel did as the defensive coordinator for the Patriots.Are you implying romeo wasn't a good coordinator?

Frankly, I have no idea how you even came to that conclusion to begin with.
It can be a product of either. The discount is this team has been in a complete rebuild since 2008. The age of the defense in 2010 was ridiculously young and they played accordingly.No, i didn't mean it like that. My point was everyone keeps talking about personnel when in reality the problem may be bill hasn't had the help he once had and it's showing.
I know you guys are not giant fans who never remember what BILL did for their superbowl runs.
There may be something to that...
Belichick assumes there will be no OTAs; playbook will be reduced | ProFootballTalk
For those pondering what a 4-3 base would look like, the 1997 Jets defensive playbook that's in internet circulation has, in most of its formations, one outside linebacker or the other, sometimes both, up on the line, making the formations look very much like a 3-4 or classic 4-3 under (i.e. Tampa Two style). It also has Sam, Mike and Will, not LOLB and ROLB, though the line positions ARE designated left and right.
The Patriots allowed fewer points per game than the Chiefs, despite having to play more defensive snaps. They had a better YPC, and a better total rushing yards against. They allowed fewer rushing touchdowns. They allowed fewer big plays and forced the same number of fumbles. They allowed fewer points and had a lot more interceptions. They did all that in a year where the Patriots defense was weak by Patriots standards, and where that defense was without a starting CB and starting LDE for the entire 16 game season plus the playoffs.
I can't buy the 'stagnant' argument in comparison to the Chiefs, sorry.
But, taking a look at the defensive passing efficiency stats kind of fleshes out my argument for their superiority against the pass, imo, despite a hodge-podge of personnel in quite a few areas. So I'd chalk their success up to good coaching (not that we have bad coaching, mind you).
I think it is. over a third of the defenses in the NFL run a 3-4 these days, but how many college programs do? How many high schools? The demand for 3-4 players has become very high, but the supply (of guys who have played in a 3-4 base extensively) is awfully low. You end up having to convert guys, and that's not a sure thing and it takes time.
I think both teams have pretty comparable secondaries, really. Both were very young and highly, highly talented. Berry and McCourtey have potential to be two of the very best at their positions and it showed.
Why not trade Warren?? What am I missing?
We would get DESTROYED by the run, and it would all be offtackle and out. We will not play that lineup as a base.I think we'll run more of a 2-5, with two of the LB putting their hand in the dirt, like we did in the SB against the Eagles. JMHO
............Guyton Spikes Mayo
Ninkovich Wilfork Haynesworth Cunningham
All you are really doing here is putting the 34 personell on the field, aligning them a bit differently and calling Cunningham a DE instead of an OLB. Except you are now making Guyton an OLB.Based simply on my own, uneducated football mind, I want this in a 4-3

DT: Wilfork

RE: Cunningham

I think this could be a way to use the team's abundant 3-4 ILB depth while covering the lack of an ideal second 3-4 OLB. Spikes at MLB behind Wilfork and Haynesworth is unfair. Mayo and Guyton play sideline to sideline. Wright is a great pocket-pusher and should help Cunningham's sack numbers.
Labelling the LBs weak and strong does not mean the players on the field switch. There are weak and strong DEs, OLBs, ILBs, DT, CBs and S. Their roles differ. But BB traditionally has LEFT and RIGHT side players, that is they are strong or weak depending on formation, in the case the LOLB and ROLB are each both wil and sam on different plays.There may be something to that...

So if you go off of that playbook, the lineman have to be relatively balanced left and right, but in the linebacking corps we could have a more specialized Sam and Will. So that wouldn't preclude Guyton, say, playing Will while a much bigger linebacker, like Ninkovich, fills in on the other side at Sam.
It would seem to preclude having Cunningham as weak end and Pryor or Wright on the strong side. But maybe that changes, who knows. Based on the playbook, what may happen to maintain balance is that a DT rotation of Wilfork, Haynesworth, Love and Brace takes shape with sets of heavy and light DEs based on situation, i.e. Pryor and Wright on short downs and Cunningham and Moore on long downs.

It'd be one of those. Guyton is basically everything you look for in a Will.
I think you mean a wealth of mediocrity.
If Warren were here and we played 43, he could play either DT or DE. He played nose as a rookie. We still will be a 2gap team and he would be equally comfortable over the T or the G.
He was a competent NT with the Pats when Ted Washington was hurt.
