This is exactly why I wasnt a big fan of the way this whole thing went over.
Billicheck didn't do this when he got to NE...he kept the 4-3 and built (for 2 years) the talent for a 3-4 while still putting a quality 4-3 out there the team could win with.
That so far is the difference between genius and what we did.
I bet ya if BB took over here last year, we are still a 4-3 defense.

i'll admit some fail on this point (this is for you, hamas)
I love the 3-4 and was thrilled when they switched to it cold turkey....
but you'd have to say it's been a fairly disastrous transition in terms of opportunity costs related to the draft and personnel, and actual performance on the field, and we'll be moving into year 3 and still have to find/replace most of our front 7...which is just incomprehensible
