[QUOTE="wpr, post: 10588, member: 198"] Great post IBP. Personally I think 4-3 is the way for GB to go. It may not be as aggressive of a system but if the defense doesn't make mistakes the 4-3 can give up a few 1st downs and still shut down the offense. As so many have said GB doesn't have the personel for the 3-4. I know some teams have had success using the 3-4 but not only do you have to have the quality on the D line and linebackers to do so there is a lot of wear and tear on the DL so you need 4-5 quality D line players not just three. As soon as your big behemoth NG goes down and you don't have someone nearly equal to his ablity to replace him the system becomes worthless. Another thing to keep in mind, the article kind of glossed over it but after 1st down, many times teams are in a nickle or dime package anyway. In those downs you are wanting the DL pressure the QB not just to tie up the OL and the "4-3" DL is better suited to those situations. Another situation is when the defensive is facing 3rd/4th and short they will many times bring in more beef on the DL too. While the 3-4 DL will have more bulk in it's regual 3 starters than the 4-3 will, it is easier to see a 4-3 type of defense having more more quality defender than a 3-4 having two such quality defenders available.
