Marvin Takes Over as DC

Rob Burnett-Siragusa-Sam Adams-McCrary
       Boulware-Lewis-Jamie Sharper

When Nolan took over, it was a 3-4:

  Adalius Thomas- Kelly Gregg- McCrary (which didn't work as he's a 4-3 DE and too big to be a 3-4 OLB)/Anthony Weaver (which DID work out)
Cornell Brown-Ed Hartwell-Lewis-Boulware

Then, when Rex took over, it became a hybrid of his previous coordinators' alignments (officially, IIRC, it was a 4-3):

Jarret Johnson-Gregg-Ma'ake Kemoeatu/Ngata/Trvor Pryce-Suggs
           Thomas-Lewis-Bart Scott

or

    Ngata/Kemoeatu-Gregg-Ngata/Trevor Pryce
       Thomas-Lewis-Bart Scott-Suggs

Having 2 way guys like Suggs, Johnson, Boulware and Thomas for all those years, allowed them to switch back and forth.

Good post! Their defense was scary good back then. I miss those days of the NFL but not having to play against that defense twice a year.
