Per Hobson articles.
Yeah I saw the article and was kind of surprised. Think we ran mostly a 4-3 last season, Anarumo mixed things up and ran a big 5 man front with two linebackers and tried things like standing up Hubbard. I understand Anarumo wanting a versatile defense but I feel like we don't have the personnel yet to run a 3-4. A 3-4 requires multiple linebackers which we don't have and I think guys like Hubbard, Lawson and Dunlap are better as 4-3 ends then dropping into coverage or standing up. I'd be fine if Anarumo wanted to transition more to a 3-4 are defense can't get any worse then it's been the last 3 years.
