and i think they are legitimate. why are you advocating a return to a 4-3. Imo that would set this team back 2 years.
Heh, you caught me.
Mostly because I just prefer the 4-3 over the 3-4 and nothing more. Football is won in the trenches and I like having that extra man dedicated to the line.
I see the 4-3 catering more to the talents of AD & Brockers, who I consider the best players on our front 7. We don't have the LB's for the 4-3, but our LB's aren't very good in the 3-4 either, so if you're going to make a change anyway, now might be a solid time. It didn't take us 2 years when Wade changed our defense, so maybe it wouldn't take 2 to go back.
That said, this just doesn't feel like the best time to make this change. My rational mind agrees with you that we have the #1 defense and you just don't monkey with success.
