There are different types of 3-4 alignments that might work out with our personnel. It is not all about Madden for heck sake as Bfine alluded to teams in the NFL transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 all the time and it seems lots of teams are doing this now.

We need to add a bunch of Linebackers regardless. My only problem with us running a 3-4 most of the time is Lawson is not a good run stopper or good in coverage and he is arguably our best pass rusher. I think we need to run more of a hybrid that is not predictable.

They could still use Lawson as only an edge rusher in any defense they run. The NFL runs 11 personnel group more than any other so it really doesnt matter if it's a "34" or "43" defense the alightment is going to most likely be a 4 2 5.

What I like about the 34 under defense (Wade Phillip's coined defense) is they can move Geno and Lawson all over the place. Geno can play all 3 defensive line spots in that defense and they can rush Lawson from any linebacker position outside or inside.
