Chris, no question same defensive scheme...

But not the same defensive personnel...

I'd rather have something like what Pittsburgh used to have with the talent we've brought in at linebacker, nose tackle...

Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled about the move to a 3-4, and it did indeed seem like we finally started adding the right pieces. I'm kinda pi$$ed that we never actually fully committed to it over the last two years. Some folks here said that adding Dennis Allen would probably facilitate a move back to the 4-3 and I didn't want to believe it... But they were right.

We just can't seem to find consistency on defense. The thing that I don't get is that Sean Payton came back from his suspension and the first thing he did was fire Spagnuolo and announce we're changing to a 3-4. We proceeded to waffle on making that transition for two years before apparently giving up on it.
