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.

It's easier finding 34 Defensive Linemen (though what we have in both Bunkley and Jenkins is rare) than finding four dynamic linemen (really need a rotation of six)...

Dead on about splitting the middle of the field for the MLB, though i've concerns about them engaging/disengaging "active" offensive guards...

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...

Though I've been a big critic, I didn't like seeing Will Smith injured (though I won a pool that he wouldn't start Week 1) and would have liked him back at DE rotating with Cam Jordan at the 5-tech...

Unless it were someone young like Alec Ogletree or an unsuspended Von Miller, I really don't want to see Ingram geaux not having a proven MotorBack to convert those short yardage gains for us...

Well we had Butler, Galette, Wilson, Smith, and then drafted Rufus in the 6th, and signed several as UDFA's. Thats plenty of moves. And then trade for Haralson. How can anyone complain about that?

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.
