re: Three years in..... Are you happy with the change to the 3-4?......

No sure yet. We certainly haven't been good against the run with Grantham's 3-4 defense but then we were even worse with the 4-3 and Martinez. I think finding the right NG with depth is going to be an ongoing issue. If your NG gets handled by the opposing Center, then that frees up 2 OL on each side of the Center top blow out against single DE's opening up the running game. Yea, you've got an extra LB to supposedly fill the gaps but in our case too often that's after the RB has already gotten 3 yards and with momentum another yard or 2. Against running teams like Bama, LSU and Florida, I think we are better off with 4 down athletic linemen in the 300 lb range instead of having 3 fat asses in the 330-350 lb range. Of course against a team like Boise that throws a lot of underneath routes, clearly having an extra athletic LB is a big advantage. Maybe our problem has not been playing smart as a unit and too many slow LB's like Washington and not enough athletic LB's like Ogletree and Jarvis. One thing that really stands out about Bama and LSU is their super talented LB's.
