The D-line is important but what makes a 3-4 work is a solid LB corps and I dont think the Titans are deep and skilled enough at LB. I think a 5-3 or 5-2 suits them better.

you must have big Dlinemen for a 3-4 and they do
they have good OLB's

i think Hope is underrated
they have bad corners

but yes i would pick a 3-4 over a 4-3 in their situation

the LBs arent exactly Bruschi,Vrabel,Mcginnest and so on like I said deep and skilled. Vanenbosch gives them some pass rush and they have enough size that a 5-3 would suit them well. Pacman should man up with help opposite and that would leave linebacker zone coverage over the middle. I see good pass rush potential to help the DBs with their players out of a 5-3. If a line backer in the 3-4 makes the wrong read that defense folds quick and can give up some big plays.

yea but ur not gonna find those type of linebackers on the same team like that. thorton and bulluck are probly the next best thing IMO

Once again, as I stated earlier the Titans are very weak at MLB and have already had to convert former OLB Peter Sirmon to the middle position. In order to run the 3-4 Terna Nande would have to play the other MLB and that would mean we wouldnt have a natural MLB playing that position.

i would have to agree here, the main problem will be the secondary

what is the Titans situation that would make them be a better 3-4 team? or good lord a 5-2 team (who runs a 5-2 base defense in the NFL...freaking no one.. thats one of the stupidest thing I have ever heard.)

The Titans are thin at LB....deep on the DL. They have a freaking former LSU QB at back-up LBer.

Their LBers are too small to run a 3-4 anyway.

The buffalo bills ran alot of 5-2 untill spikes went down and they did it pretty well.You use it on teams that run alot. If you have solid linemen(which they do) you can use 5-3 to bring alot of rush. You pressure the QB to help your DBs and the Titans are soft at DB but better than last year. If they use a 3-4 I gaurantee you they will get picked to pieces in that division.

The Bills ran a defense with 5 down lineman?
