DRSmith Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 One has to wonder if they are planning a switch to a 4-3 defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoskins Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 All of their signing seem to point in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aszumilo Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 According to the NY Post, they are transitioning. http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/jets/no_kind_words_for_ellis_jwWKgcB20QlvNFKadteP5I The Jets tried to retain Ellis, but only at the veteran-minimum salary of $910,000. They were reportedly outbid by Bill Belichick, who is vigorously restocking his defensive line this summer -- witness the recent acquisition of Albert Haynesworth -- as the Patriots transition to a 4-3 scheme.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 The Pats' pass rush was non-existent last year. So, maybe they think that the only way to get to the QB is to play more 4-3. Obviously, the guys they are signing don't seem to fit their base defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRSmith Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 It will be interesting to see what happens I think last year everyone in the AFC east was running a 3-4 defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goskinz0721 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I just read on ESPN that the Patsies have 19 DLinemen in camp. Yes, that's correct, 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
