It's Talent, Not Coaching.

We've run plenty of 4-3 looks this year and still manage to stink up the joint, so I think the scheme argument has to take a backseat to the talent argument.

I think that's a good point: it's not like the 'skins are running a pure 3-4 every single down.

I also think the increased turnovers should be mentioned. If the defense hadn't played with this aggressive approach, I'm not sure the 'skins are even at 4 wins this year.
