G for Gabbert.

I heard he gives +2 AWR to all tight ends.

[NYSPORTS98]

Cowboys will change to a 4-3.

Will O$i join D. Ware as DE's?

That's the rumor

[DreamShaker]

Was with Tampa in the Sapp years, right? I saw the headline and thought it was Lane Kiffin, but it's his dad. Hmmm.

Has he ever used a 3-4?

[manbearchef]

I kinda hate this pickup, but I'm not a Cowboys fan and I'm not a Kiffin fan. Dallas would be stupid to leave the 3-4 they've established. D-Ware is arguably the best 3-4 OLB, but I don't know how I see him in a 4-3. Given that Dallas could be in position to win the division next year (division has been crap the past two years; Giants are inconsistent, Skins will be dealing with RG3's injury/slump, and Eagles are looking to be the bottom dwellers), I think it's stupid to change the scheme.

It's not necessarily set in stone that he's changing the scheme, but a Dallas 4-3 with their current personnel sounds abysmal.

Kiffin has said he won't force Carr and Claiborne to play strictly zone, he says he knows their strengths are man coverage and will let them play that.

But if he brings the Tampa 2, they will play zone, lol. He can say it all he wants, but we all know what he is famous for, and that's the tampa 2. I expect some version of it.

Well of course they're gonna play zone, they played zone last year. But sticking Carr and Claiborne exclusively in zone coverage is just a flat out waste of their abilities and I'm sure Kiffin can see that. Even with his other teams Kiffin still employed a little bit of man coverage so it's not like it's a foreign idea to him.

And has 22 speed and -25 deep throw accuracy.
