I pointed this out before but right now we don't really have 4-3 personnel, mainly due to the fact that we're short on traditional linebackers.
I mean lets see.
OLB - Perry Riley (Coverage liability)
MLB - Fletcher
OLB - Orakpo
LDE - Carriker
DT - Bowen
DT - Cofield
RDE - Kerrigan
Ironically we have great depth on the defensive line, so much that it would be hard to give our best players up front snaps while on the back end we have an average at best LB corps. Then again that could be rectified with one offseason so maybe a switch is in the cards but theres no doubt about the fact that this team has made the transition to the 3-4.
