And clinging to the 2009 defense is absurd in my opinion. Changes had to be made. Unless we wanted to hold on to the likes of Griffin, Montgomery, Wynn, Daniels (and more) just a little too long.

Certainly we needed to replace these guys, but that's a far cry from blowing up the defense and it utterly ignores the several other players of talent we had in that system. Carter, Zoe, AH and others would have continued to fortify the D line and then we added Rak, who would probably be well suited as a LDE in the 4-3.
...and yes I would take that defense over the one we have today. What we have today is woefully inconsistent and seemingly unable to be effective against several of the offenses we face every year, especially Dallas and Philly.
