Teams getting the ball our quick, sure.. None of these would be solved by switching over to a 4-3.
I do agree though that it is easier finding 4-3 players than 3-4 players though.

I'm under the impression that our ILB's are the problem. Watch DJ try to cover a tight end that breaks off on a route. It's amusing. neither him or Mauga are able to hit the gaps quick and hard enough to stop RB's <3 yards from scrimmage
