Why on earth would we do that when our defense is playing well and the top run defense team in the league. If it aint broke.. dont fix it.

At the start of this season the consensus was that the strength of our D was the LB's...but as of late the pass rushing of this D appears to be coming from the DLine. Maybe it's time to give up on pass rushing with our LB's and just move back to the 4-3 so we can have more of our better rushers in the game at one time?

In a 4-3, the defensive linemen are generally smaller - more athletic and quick. Look at Dwight Freeney...now look at Isaac Sopoaga and Kentwan Balmer? See a difference? Look at a guy like Bryant Young...and look at Franklin. See a difference? We spent a couple of years trying to play a 3-4 without having the right people for it. Now we finally have people that fit the system and playing well, and you want to try to fit 3-4 people into a 4-3?? Nolan...is that you playing some kind of a joke??

Justin Smith would do well in a 4-3, and Ray McDonald would at tackle. Balmer would have, but he's bulked up a lot to play in the 3-4. That's about it.

Wouldn't it be great if Niner Talk was calling shots in the organization?!
This thread should be taken out back and shot 5 times in the face
Let's first fix the things that need fixing before we try to tweak for the better those things that are already doing well.
