I was going to post a thread like this, but I know that most of the posters on here would react exactly the way they did. Now that it's a few posts old we can actually get some good discussion here.
I'm in Korea right now and I have Sirius radio that I listen to everyday. I listen to NFL Radio and every show. They repeatedly say that switching to a 3-4 is the easiest way for teams to improve their defense fast and less expensive than a 4-3. I do not recall all the reasons, but one of them was that you didn't have to have as many high paid players as a 4-3 with the one you need being a nose tackle.
They also inteviewed Zach Thomas. He said that he's going where he needs the team not where the team needs him. He also said that he'd prefer playing in a 3-4 being that he had more protection in a 3-4 as opposed to a 4-3.
IMO, yes we could and probably should since our glory days of our LBers was when we had the 3-4. We would have to bring in a DC that runs a 3-4 and I don't think Gibbs is that guy.
