Tomlin demonstrated flexibility and a willingness to accept the possibility that someone else on the staff might know more than he does about some aspect of the NFL game.

Hmmm.....

Yes but also keep in mind that the 3-4 is becoming more and more effective against todays offenses. Championship weekend featured 3 teams that ran the 3-4 defense so it's not to surprising that the two teams that moved on to the Super Bowl are 3-4 teams.
