I think the 4-3 talk has some merit.

I'm not sure our defense is a good as some would make it out to be. It was at it's best the first half of the season, when the offense was controlling the ball for nearly 40 minutes a game. When the offense stopped doing that, the defense starting getting exposed. The defense the year before started taing off at the end of the season as well.

I could see the 4-3 lineup mentioned being a pretty solid defense... and one where there could actually be some substitutions to keep guys fresh.

I could even see Houston and Ford lining up at the DE spots in a tandum that would be similar to what the Colts use to have in Freeney and Mathis.

I also think we need to mix in some zone concepts to our secondary/ back 7 from time to time.
