it's not a big surprise that sing wanted to clear a spot for another linebacker...if sing could, he would fill all the 22 positions with linebackers.
Humorous but one of the reasons a 3-4 is technically a better defense than 4-3, it gives one more linebacker and one less DL on the roster = better special teams as LBs are generally more mobile and quicker than DLs.
and i didn't think about the value for the special teams, when i posted it.
The point about 3-4 was only to point out that it gives some more versatile ST players than a 4-3. It is just a matter of roster makeup. You sound like you got that already.
Special Teams should be full of Linebackers and Running Backs but with 2 CB's.
