 Deception is a big part of the defense in the NFL and it seems to me that a 3-4 creates the possibility of more options coming from the defense as the opposing QB is trying to guess what is coming.

Pretty sure we ran a 3-4 the year we lost the Super Bowl to the Niners in Detroit but maybe my memory is wrong.

You would be correct.  Defensive Coordinator Hank Bullough ran a 3-4.
