5. Bootleg more (those passes generally looked good).
6. Use more Reed, less Paulson.
7. Let Fred Davis go next year, and use the cap money we will have to shore up all of the DB positions and the OL.

That sounds like a terrible idea. You can't change defensive schemes overnight, even an entire offseason sometimes isn't enough time to get players used to the change (as evidenced by our first year running the 3-4). I think we'd pretty much be guaranteeing an abysmal defense for the entire year if we did that.
