The whole philosophy behind Romeo's defense out of base and sub fronts is to provide pressure with 4.
The problem was, he never had competent 3/5 tech DEs that could provide an adequate pass rush. With Romeo's defense, you have to have
smart front based players that can quickly diagnose run v. pass and then provide an ability to get upfield. If Tyson Jackson had turned into Richard Seymour, then Romeo's philosophies would have been more productive.
Running 2gap principles is outdated but can still be effective. You just have to have elite/smart players manning your base front.
