I remember when the Bills kept saying that they were "going to a 3-4" before they had the guys to do it. They abandoned that scheme before long and tried to hook the fans with "we're moving back to a 4-3!" Those defenses were abysmal. Absolutely rudderless and uninspiring. The team basically came out and said that they were shifting defensive schemes solely for the purpose of hyping up their roster full of dudes who couldn't play defense. I'm hoping that this whole "we're base hybrid" thing is just a smokescreen. Most good 3-4 teams line up in 4-3 and try to beat you straight up over 70% of the time anyway. It's mostly about how they line up and blitz you on obvious passing downs, which any team can change up.
