I hope your right, TP reporters are convinced this means we will be running 4-3 again more than 3-4

Guys on this forum scoffed at me when I suggested we should go back to a 4-3 now that we have so much talent on the DL. I see Larry Holder tweeting the same thing now.

Its been documented that we're gonna run both. The 3-4 will be our base set, which Ryan said we'll run less than 50% of the time.

Its true we have more d-line talent now, but I think it still fits a 3-4 better.

Jordan, Bunkley, Hicks, JJenkins, Foster all look better suited for a 3-4. Lofton and Vilma now appear a step too slow to play that 4-3MLB and would probably benefit from splitting the field.

But how we didn't draft and make moves to acquire at least one-two more OLB (i.e. Alec Ogletree, Jaime Collins, Jarvis Jones) when transitioning to a 34 is beyond me...

No one can plan on losing 1/2 your projected starters to injuries before training camp is even over.

No one can complain about picking Vaccaro, Armstead, and Jenkins with our 1st three picks.

3-4, 4-3, 2-3, 1-5, doesn't matter. There's going to be plenty of everything.

Back in 2010, I analyzed the season opener against the Vkings. At the time we were supposedly a 4-3 base defense, but nearly half the snaps in the base defense were in a 3-4, something like 20 snaps there were just 2 linemen on the field, and a couple times on long passing downs there was just one lineman on the field with 3 linebackers and every DB on the roster.

Ryan comes from the same school of defense as GW so I think we'll see a lot of similar stuff. The only issue is we have a whole lot of young players who might have a hard time picking up on all the changes at first.
