Trippster Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 With the re-signing of Antonio Pierce and the acquisition of Michael Barrow, what are the possibilities that the Redskins take Vince Wilfork to play nose tackle and switch to a 3-4 defense? Could these these two signing so close to the draft be an omen that Wilfork is our man? What do you think? Oh yeah..Eagles Suck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayouBrave86 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The newest Fox Draft has the Skins taking Wilfork at number 5, I however think if the Skins are going to pick Wilfork, they should ought to trade down into the teens coupled with a 2nd rounder. It would be ideal to get Wilfork and Troupe/Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Zero. Two words my man: Depth. We're going to have a lot of it. We might switch around with the 3-4, but we aren't going to have that as our best D, and we defiently aren't trading down, hence that's a "no" to Wilfork. Sorry.

Buddha Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Count the Buddha in as riding shotgun on the Wilfork bandwagon. While I doubt seriously that the Skins will convert to a 3-4 full time, they would definitely have the personnel for it if Wilfork is drafted. Both Noble and Haley also have the skills to man the nose, and Wynn and Griffin could fit right in as 3-4 ends. I think we'll definitely see some 3-4 packages, but the 4-3 base defense should return in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 i'd be a little worried about counting on griffin to play end. how about we take wilfork and start him next to griffin in a 4-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posse81 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 What do you do with Griffin then? I'd love to get Wilfork, but I don't think that means we will switch to a 3-4. Pierce is solid, but I'm not sure you bump Griffin to start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I'll admit that my limited knowledge on the subject makes me unqualified to discuss the implications of the 3-4 vs 4-3 in real-world terms. I'm just in favor of Wilfork on the theory of "biggest available DL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just in favor of Wilfork on the theory of "biggest available DL". That's as good a theory as any other when dealing with DT's. If we trade the #5 Wilfork makes a lot of sense. But if we also get a high two then we may pass on Wilfork and get a Sopoaga, Olshansky or Starks. If we do trade down and pass on Wilfork, watch out for a play for Williams or Vilma. We would be in backer heaven and set for a 3-4 in more realistic terms. Hell even the 46 would be more feasible then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1SkinzFan Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I agree that Wilfork is pretty nice, but I still think with Williams style defense, Taylor would be the best pick, especially at Number 5. SEAN TAYLOR ALL THE WAY BABY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierce is solid, but I'm not sure you bump Griffin to start him. You typically want bigger DEs in a 3-4 than you would in a 4-3-- both of Pittsburgh's starting ends are 300 pounders. So Griffin could be a decent fit on the outside in a 3-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandies Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 What about a trade for the first round choices of New England. I don't have much time right now but could we draft a good nt at 20 and Sean Jones at safety at 21? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldskool Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 We dont have the personnel to run a 3-4 on the line right now and Wilfork isnt really the answer at NT. Id rather he play RDT for us if he is drafted instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 After reading several articles about Williams, I think that it's safe to say one can't pigeon hole him into a particular defens. he'll run just about everything at the opposing offense. As a base defense, hard to say. I believe that he'll run the 4-3 primarily. seems like a defense with alot more options to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wicked Wop Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Park City, I think you nailed it. From everything I've heard about Williams defensive schemes.......he basically keeps you guessing, and can throw anything at you at the drop of a hat. This is part of the reason why I 'm in favor of drafting Taylor. He would instatly be able to give you the option tp blitzing or cover a WR and allowing a DB to blitz....something I think our 2 current safeties can't do.

wwninja420 Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Williams is going to throw everything at offenses including the kitchen sink.Hopefully they will be shaking their heads at the end of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 I remember reading that, on the first play of Gibbs II's first mini-camp, Williams sent all 11 guys after Brunell. Anybody besides me think it would be neet if we did the same thing for the first play of our first preseason game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCS Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Yeah Wop. And you gotta like that attitude too. Attack. And I hate to do this, and I know I'm biased, but one of the main reasons I'm leaning towards Taylor is here. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58213&pagenumber=2 Read utah's post.

rdsknbill Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 3-4 isn't the answer, although we are loaded at LB. It will be interesting to see what Coach Williams has up his sleeve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Dont see us in a 3-4 unless after we draft S Taylor we make a trade and snag a Wilfork and cut up his popeyes chicken VIP card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
