Message: <blockquote data-quote="aaronqb" data-source="post: 284505" data-attributes="member: 2237">I believe the Packer staff made the decision to go 3-4 because they think the system is better than the 4-3 for today's offenses - not because their existing personnel after the 2008 season was better suited to the 3-4. Once they decided on the 3-4 system, they began acquiring the players that perform best in it. Jenkins and Kampman are both better suited to the 4-3 than the 3-4 and I'm sure the Packer brass expected that not all the existing players from 2008 would be able to adapt to the 3-4. However, now that they are into the 3-4, they are now drafting different types of players than they did two years ago. Matthews and Brad Jones are perfect fits in the 3-4; they may not have been in a 4-3. We'll know more about how well Raji fits this year, especially now that he will playing NT. If they are correct that the 3-4 is a superior system, then we should expect the Packer defense to improve as they continue to acquire the right guys for the system - such as Mike Neal, CJ Wilson.</blockquote>
