I don't know how you get that I'm confused on the matter, I'm not. Connor played in the 4-3, will play in the 4-3 for Carolina and all Mecca told us was he wouldn't work in that scheme-he obviously WILL, so I pointed it out.

Just because a 4-3 and the Tampa two both employ 4 down linemen and 3 backers doesn't mean they have the same responsibilities in both looks. What Mecca and others have tried to tell you and you have ignored is that in the Tampa two the mike backer is responsible for a lot more ground in coverage than in a 4-3 so that the safeties can more effectively cover the soft spots behind the CBs zones. So he needs to be able to turn and run in coverage because the safeties are going to be split out from the middle. And that is exactly the weak part in his game, in a normal 4-3 the safeties are going to be for that middle ground in coverage.
