DCs tend to stick with what they know. Jim Haslett changed the Redskins to a 3-4. Jerry Gray changed us to a 4-3. George Edwards changed us back to a 3-4. Wade Phillips changed the Texans to a 3-4, as Dom Capers did the same to the Packers.
If you noticed, for most, if not all of those 21 points, the Patriots went single high safety, man underneath. The switched after that, and that's when our offensive troubles began.
I don't like picking on older folks, but this is Ralph's team. he is either responsible for the decisions he made, or for delegating the one's he didn't.
But aren't we looking at smaller, more athletic LBs in a 4-3? Any way, I made my mock draft today, and not only did I have Brown in the 1st, I had Ronnell Lewis from Oklahoma (6-2, 237) in the 2nd.
