Junya First in Line?

The thing I've always noticed about the 34, is that if you're strong up the middle, you will generally have a very stout defense. The reason I say this is because it's very hard to run outside against a 34 as opposed to a 43, so most teams that are sucessful against the 34 do it by being extremely physical and ramming the ball up the middle. When the defense starts to tire, then the game is open for the taking. If we have enough good players to stay fresh all game and all season long and we play halfway decent, this will still be a tough defense to beat.

I've thought that too and we've sure brought in some monsters to help out Bunkley this offseason.
