I don't know if the Rams can make another change from the 3-4 back to the 4-3. As it stands now I wonder how the Rams replace Brockers and free agents Fowler and Littleton if not resigned. They have been adding 3-4 type Lbers.
Ditto. It would be very difficult to go back to a 4-3 now with guys like Obo, Ebukam, etc., and it would take a couple of years to make the full transition. Meanwhile, we would suffer during said transition. There is no inherent advantage of one over the other with respect to the 3-4 and the 4-3, both have their strengths and their weaknesses. Right now, with the players we know are returning next year, our personnel is suited for a 3-4 but not a 4-3. Meanwhile, we don't have a first round pick and will not have a ton of cap space to play with. It's best just to stick with the 3-4 and try to build that with some of the draft picks we do have, look for gems in the UDFA market, and maybe get a mid-tier FA or two. And if we have to get a new DC, get a 3-4 guy who will work with the core guys we have.
IMO Marvez is guessing he does not realize that Joe Barry was an epic fail as a DC & as an Assistant HC that is where Barry is staying... Aubrey Pleasant is possible or a college DC as well
Yeah, I think he was just throwing a name out there, and a pretty obvious one. Part of the reason Barry is here is because he got fired in DC and his track record there was pretty bad. Let someone else give him a second chance at DC, we need a guy who is either proven or has at least shown potential to be a good DC. Barry falls into neither of those categories.
