I have mixed emotions.
On the one hand, masking, stunting, and coverage could be improved. The 4 linebackers could do some hands down duty, especially if Junior is in there. Our abilities on the outside edges would be two steps improved (2 steps is a lot). We need to do something different to shake things up a bit. On the other hand, the one thing I don't like about the 3-4 is, it gives O-lines direct engagement on the LB's. It simply increases the territory the nose tackle and DE's have to hold down. We have not been cloggin up the middle with 2 guys in there, I'm almost scared of pulling 1 guy to the 2nd level. Harper may end up with 15 tackles and a bruised collar bone. A good mix of the 3-4 4-3 could give us some advantage in confusing blocking schemes. If it helps us make plays, force some punts, gets some turnovers, I'm all for it. |
