Side note:
1. who has won the most Super Bowls in the free agency/salary cap era by a mile? Bill Belichick.
2. who has an ECONOMICS degree from college? Bill Belichick.
Unrelated? Nope, they sure aren't. When the 4-3 was all the rage in the early 2000s, Belichick built a 3-4 defense. Law of supply and demand. Those big DLs and two-gappers? Nobody else really wanted them.
Now, the league is trending much more to 3-4, and what do we see? Patriots are heading toward 4-3. Where the league has more demand and less supply, the Patriots move away from that and go to where he can get more bang for his buck using a different system to win.
