No more stop gap and experimental players, but bring back an over the hill Deion Jones and a LB who wasn't even on an NFL practice squad until mid-November
Got it
$36 million and 8 draft picks just isn’t enough to field a team. Pack it in, boys.
Let’s all just pass around the tissues and cry about it until next year.
I'm not so quick to pigeon hole players.Allen is good. But assuming the Browns stay in a 4-3 base defense- which maybe shouldn't be assumed- I'm skeptical of unloading the truck for a 3-4 DE

If someone can set the edge on run downs and shift inside to replace a double-team eating 1-tech on passing downs, that’s someone I would be very interested in.

It's overblown.To be fair or D-Line is not good outside of Myles who has the size to play 3-4 end. We need to replace our DT tackles and our front 7 is our biggest weakness on the team.
Its kind of like this offseason we are starting ovrer, instead of needing a DT, end and linebacker or 2, Maybe it would be easier to switch with our personell not being there. One thing a 3-4 base can do is use the flexibility to get Myles in less double teams as they move around the Edge - LB position.
I am not saying I want to switch, i prefer a 4-3 personnally, but I wouldnt be against it if the new Defensive Coordinnator has a soild plan.
Exactly the whole 4-3/3-4 thing is so over blown.It's overblown.
First, base is nickel. You have seven guys up front like 10% of the time in the NFL now.
Second, did anyone have issue with Von Miller or Khalil Mack? They were "linebackers" in a 3-4 but just rushed the passer every play.
No defensive coordinator is going to ask Garrett to stand up and play in the second level regularly. It's a moot point.
Gap assignments are weird anyways. Some of the most successful 4-3 alignments the last few years are using assignments from 3-4 schemes. If we're lining someone up at 4i, whether we call that person a DT or DE, that label doesn't really matter.
