The problem is we don't have the right players to run 4-3 and Allen is a 4-3 coach.... I'm not sure whats going to be done about that.

I agree but at this point in time we don't have much to lose.

I'm sure he's smart enough to know what he can or can't do with the players he has. I'm hoping we will see improvement throughout the remainder of the season.

We can employ the Two Gap, Three Under, Tampa 2, Zone Man to Man Press!

We kinda have LBers for a 3-4, yet we kinda have D-lineman for a 4-3.

And...go. It's your show, Mr. Allen.
