[QUOTE="TJV, post: 431384, member: 4300"] [FONT=Tahoma]IMO it would be a mistake to switch back to a 4-3. The talent acquisition since '09 has been geared for the 3-4 which requires different kinds of athletes at DL and LB than a 4-3. Capers' D[I] is[/I] the 3-4 (or the 2-4-5). A switch would mean a serious rebuilding project starting with a new DC and staff. There's nothing wrong with the scheme IMO, only the personnel needs to be upgraded.
