Warren Sapp also told Mike Silver that Al Davis has “a team with 3-4 personnel, but they’re running a 4-3 system.”
Might that be the problem with the run defense?
Rob Ryan did come to the Raiders from New England, which runs a 3-4. But could Derrick Burgess play as a stand-up rush end?
Is that what Sam Williams would be best at?
Oddly enough, Sapp was miscast in the 3-4 when he arrived in Oakland. He was criticized by media for not making enough plays even though the DE spot he played doesn't lend itself to big sack numbers.
Ryan didn't sound like he was switching to a 3-4 and I wonder how he feels about such a critique.
