Defense isn't a 4-3 now anymore than it was last year. Just playing it vanilla. I imagine there won't be a whole lot of either 4-3 or 3-4 formations. I would love to see a count of the number of plays last year with 2 or less linebackers, I bet it's easily 75%.

IIRC I think we lined up in a 4-3 (Galette's hand on the ground) more than we lined up in a 3-4.

And we took a ton of snaps in our big nickel and dime packages.

I'm not sure about that 75% figure, but I'm pretty sure we ran less than 3 LB's over 50% easily. There was a time when I'd spend an hour or two researching that, but I'm too frigging old now.

Yes, but too much of the time the 2 LBs were our starting ILBs who cannot stop the run nor cover well.
