[QUOTE="DergaSmash, post: 284504, member: 2194"] I'm a 4-3 guy as well, but I think the Packers front office made the right decision to go with a 3-4. Most of our players fit that scheme better than the 4-3, especially the D-line. To play 4-3 you have to have one tackle who will always demand double teams, like ever snap. Pickett and Raji can do that. Yet if you have a pair of those guys (like the Vikings do) your 4-3 line can do more. The biggest part of the 4-3 line are the ends. Both have to be able to rush the passer effectively but also keep running plays to the inside, by forcing the RB to cutback to the middle. The Packers haven't had that in a long time. Now I love Kampman as much as anybody. He was a stand-up guy, and his motor never quit. But he wasn't awesome against the run. Playing DE is more than getting 13 sacks in a season. I remember many times Kampman would get too far upfield or come far inside, only to the the RB scoot by him and the only defensive players within 15 yards of him was the CB and the Saftey to that side.
