I was only speaking in regards to a "base defense"(4-3); but it's really all about the personnel. Keep in mind that a Nickel Defense can be 4 or 3 defensive linemen. With a 4-2-5 approach, we aren't suspect to the run, and until we can stop the run, 4 defensive linemen might be preferred, as a 3 defensive lineman approach resulted in the disaster that was the NFCCG. Griffen-Clark-Lancaster-Gary with P. Smith-Kirksey-Z.Smith should do us some good.A 3-3-5 approach isn't horrible, but again it's all about the personnel, and we don't have it in my opinion. For a 3-3-5 I'd prefer a Gary-Clark-Lowry with a P. Smith-Kirksey-Z. Smith approach.He deserves it, because Lowry, Lancaster, and Adams aren't the answer....although they could be a part of it.I believe if Gary was given a full-time spot at DE last year, he would have came away with 5 or 6 sacks off physical gifts alone. Keke probably would have registered at least a sack and a couple tackles for loss if he had gotten the playbook down quicker.</blockquote>
