While I don't totally agree with a previous poster, I don't believe it would be a bad idea to switch to a 3-4 during games to throw off opposing offenses, especially to run blitzes or fake blitzes. I think the ability to have different lineups and looks would make us less predictable on defense and more disruptive in the backfield. Given some of the flexibility we have now on defense, I'd be open to the idea. I think Barwin could play DE, OLB or ILB in a 3-4, as well as Cushing. If Okam is going to have a breakout year, that could be HUGE for us this year with all the recent additions on defense.
I cant wait till August.
