My understanding is that we will use the 3-4 sometimes (as almost every team does), but that the 4-3 will be the base defense. I can't recall if I read that in the Post or on ESPN.com (I do know it was one of the two).

We've been running the 4-3 for so long it would be weird to see another base defense. I remember reading somewhere on this forum, I think, that the Skins were planning to bust out with that vintage '85 Super Bowl champion Bears defense, the 46 I think it's called. I wonder if there was something to that or if it was just B.S.

I haven't heard anything more on that subject.

Gregg Williams is a Buddy Ryan devotee, and has stated that the team will occaisionally use the "46". The downside I see with the 3-4 is that is requires amazing discipline from the LB's - they have greater gap responsibility. Heap all the praise you want on LaVar (and he earns it) but discipline ain't his game.

Remember. A lot of the guys we got for D Line (yeah, the ton we acquired...) can play 3-4 and 4-3. I know Daniels is used to playing both and Griffin could probably handle nose tackle.

Name SB Winners!
Name SB winners that only played the 3-4, please!
The base 4-3 is a necsesity this year, and every year! I don't mind an occasional shift to 3-4 to confuse the O, but I strongly believe in the 4-3!

Hate to say it backrow... but New England, the team that won two of the last three Superbowls, relies very heavily on the 3-4. When the situation dictated, they used the nickle and goal-line defenses (no team uses only one defense), but their base defense was the 3-4.
