Re: Recent Switches to 3-4 Defense Usually Mean Improvement
Short answer. It was a dumb idea to switch in the first place.
Shanahan fell in love with the 3-4 during his year out and decided to implement it despite the obvious lack of personnel on the roster capable of playing it. The strength of the front 7 the previous season were, Haynesworth, Orakpo, Carter and Fletcher, all of whom are ideally suited to 4-3. I said before the start of last season that the defence would stink because of mismatched personnel/scheme and so it proved. I don't see it getting better any time soon. Shanahan is known as an offensive coach for good reason.
