I will go out on a very thick limb to state that K. Dansby of AZ, T. Suggs & A. Haynesworth will all be franchised. Nothin but the scraps left at the dinner table.
That article implied we show no different fronts. This guy must not watch much Jets. Half the fun in the 3-4 is that you can and will show different fronts.
Quick response from a Raider fan regarding Rob Ryan: 1. Correct, he DID try to implement the 3-4 when he arrived, only to realize WAY TOO LATE that he had the WRONG personnel. 2. Ironically, when we DID have better personnel for it (LIKE THIS SEASON WITH OUR STRONGEST LB CORE IN YEARS) he stuck to a vanilla, pathetic excuse or a 4-3. 3. Ryan WILL BRING ENERGY, but EXECUTION WILLN NOT FOLLOW. 4. True his '06 defense was highly ranked, but EVERYONE IN THE NFL was basically questioning whether that had more to do with the INCREDIBLY INEPT offense that kept teams from taking ANY CHANCES, simply playing close to the vest and letting Art Shell's MAGIC deliver a Raider Loss. Which pretty much EVERYONE now agrees was OBVIOUSLY THE CASE. It was a mirage at best. 5. Ryan returned 11 starters in '07 and personally ACKNOWLEDGED that the DEFENSE HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS leading into this season, but underachievers (Terdell Sands), regressions (Fabian Washington) and out of positon (Michael Huff SS instead of FS) players were the result.
