3-4 would be upgrade over what we run now but yeah personnel fits 4-3 better at this point in time.
If we had the personnel for a 4-3 defense we would have one that worked. We have no pass rush outside of Trey and as was said no NT, although our rookies may be capable of playing UT.
By 2026 the only DL under contract will be: Murphy, Johnson, Jenkins, and Jackson. I'd love for them to set the world on fire, but I'm not holding my breath. Meanwhile we're dialing up blitzes and crowding our safeties, which isn't working as a pass rush or as pass defense. Clearly it's easier to find LBs than DL right now.
