What do you guys think about us switching to a 3-4 defense??

I now we don't have the players for it now, but what about in a year or two??

Unless we switch coaches, then we are not going to a 3-4 defense.

So, we don't have the coaching personnel or the players, then it would be really hard. I do personally enjoy the 3-4, but the Cover 2 is fine with me if you can get it to work at the level we had it when we made that Superbowl run.

We don't have the personel at NT or OLB.

That's what all the smart GM's/coaches/teams choose.

Pretty soon, the 4-3 defense will be the one that's harder to figure out because everyone will be in the 3-4; it's the "cool" thing to do, apparently.

It would be a totally un-Bearslike thing to do but who thought the Packers would ever switch over?

NoSkyy said it best - it would require a total rebuild from the coaching staff on down and that won't happen unless Lovie puts up a super crap season.

This is my hope. I would like to see 3/4 or more of the league adopt the 3-4. We would benefit immensely in the draft as the Steelers have for years being one of the few 3-4 teams. While everyone else looks for those tweener outside LB/DE the 4-3 guys would just drop to us.
