[QUOTE="NYPacker, post: 274134, member: 1831"] I have to admit you're right on the money about not dealing Hawk and Kampman before the season started. We would've gotten great value for them. But how would we have known that they wouldn't fit this defense before even giving them a full season's worth of time to prove that? It's like firing somebody before even letting them start their first day at work. So you're suggesting that TT would've drafted a DE like matthews in the '09 draft. But how do you know this for sure? Like PackersRS said, this is all about conjecture. Maybe TT would've gotten Crabtree since he was the best player available, would you have been happy then? What PackersRS is trying to say is that with the switch to the 3-4 might have stimulated TT to start drafting for need instead of best player available. In my eyes that's a lesson I wanted TT to learn waaaayyyy back and I'm glad the 3-4 switch woke him up. I was also skeptic of the 3-4 during the season, looking back at the '08 defense one can see that injuries severely damaged the team because we had no depth whatsoever. However maybe if we took that 9th pick and drafted a solid LOLB, and that 23rd pick for Rey Mauluga or a safety we probably would've filled the holes from our old 4-3 defense. However we'll never know whether the problems would've been fixed or not. The team made the switch to the 3-4 and we can't convince them to go back, let's move on. [/QUOTE]
