Listen to his phons call with Hurtt and they want Mike to bulk up and play the 3 tech. I'm sure we're going back to a 4-3 front. Finally !
Mike Morris will play DT 3

They also announced Cameron Young specifically as a nose tackle, so they're still using some multiple verbiage.
This hints more towards returning to using bear fronts with a 3t-0t-3t alignment a la 2020/2021

We'll see.
That's the only way that Morris makes sense to me. He just doesn't have the athleticism to play on the edge and had a disastrous combine where he cut 25 pounds and then was a bottom tier end. He is good against the run though, so if he gets back up to 300 lbs then this looks more like a budget Byron Young (AL) pick.
It doesn't mean anything about our defense. We played a ton of 3T last season.

I would love this as an early-down option when opponents are having success running the ball.

Schneider said Morris had a bit of an identity crisis and lost a ton of weight for the combine, but had since come to grips with the fact he is a big guy and said he was up to 295 now. JS said he's going to play DE for us.

Boom. Morris is going to play 5-tech DE. Can we start putting the "wholesale change back to 4-3" narrative to bed now?

No, Hurt said, 3 tech. If you don't believe me, utube it Morris call. He told him to bulk up to play 3 tech.
Yes, indeed. And hopefully Hurtt and Schneider are on the same page.

Generally speaking a 3-4 DE plays 4i mostly, although we do use different fronts. We're definitely not playing 4-3 though. We no longer have the personnel for it.
I just listened to PC&JS's press conference and they specifically said Morris will be playing with his hand in the dirt at DE. They also said that he's currently at 295 lbs. and they seemed okay with that.

We completely still have the personnel for a 4-3. It depends on the front but a 3-4 can have their ends play 4i, 5T, or even 3T based on the play.
I don't think it matters at all anymore about 4-3 or 3-4. I think we are going to see a lot of different fronts this season.

Hurtt and Schneider don't need to be on the same page Hurtt and PC do. JS has nothing to do with football operations.

You mean coaching, right !
So . . . acquiring players isn't football operations? It's not something that requires collaboration with coaches, projecting players into the scheme?

Why are some people so against a 3-4?
Hopefully Schneider and Pete are on the fire Hurtt page

The two man fronts (in certain situations) were a disaster - so something needs fixing.
