Just was kicking a thought around...

imagine if the Bears went back to a 4-3 with the following personnel:

DE: Bilal Nichols
DT: Akeem Hicks
DT: Eddie Goldman
DE: Roy Robertson-Harris
OLB: Leonard Floyd
MLB: Roquan Smith
OLB: Khalil Mack

Would it be better or worse than the current 3-4?

Worse.

How so?

You’re essentially replacing Trevathan with RRH in the base lineup. I’m excited about RRHs potential, but I’d rather have Trevathan out there more than him.

Right answer, IMO. Also, in a 4-3, if Mack rushes the passer, you’re blitzing and leaving something open for the offense (yes, you can drop a d-lineman, but few are real good at it). In the 3-4, you can turn Mack loose and still have sound pass coverage.
