I don't know that I agree with the idea that over time the 3-4 has gotten more popular for personnel reasons. I think it's cyclical. The 3-4 will be popular, then the 4-3 will be popular, round and round we go. And I think it's a combination of what's most popular (read:effective) at the time (copycat league, so if the 3-4 seems to be working, more teams will use it) and entire coaching trees being built around certain schemes.

I think offenses are the same way.
