they are some big Ewoks.......which Star Was did you watch? : D

New Cleveland Browns defensive coordinator Joe Woods confirmed on Thursday that the team will be switching from a 4-3 base defense to a 3-4 this year.

Though head coach Kevin Stefanski still seems convinced that there will be a more hybrid approach to the defense, Wood's comments were backed up by owner Jimmy Haslam, making it all but certain that the Browns will be returning to a 3-4 front after spending the last two seasons in the 4-3.

From 2005 through 2010—the Romeo Crennel and Eric Mangini years—the Browns ran a 3-4 defense, but it never quite came together. Moving from a 4-3 to a 3-4 is a more demanding change than the other way around, requiring not just adaptation from the players already on the roster but also a major draft and free-agency effort to have the right personnel in place, and their earlier attempts in both areas fell short.

Entsprechen den Ligaregeln......

Scheme-Change

Einmal pro Saison darf ein Team von einem 3-4 zu einem 4-3 System wechseln (oder andersrum). Hierbei dürfen dann die Linebacker und Defensive Linemen, passend zum neuen System angepasst werden. Diese Änderung muss vorher im Forum angekündigt werden.
