The biggest issue with going to a 3-4 (although I love that defensive scheme) is our lack of a wide bodied Nose Tackle to clog the middle. Without that, the 3-4 is no good (think Cleveland Browns before Shaun Rogers). All great 3-4 teams have a hube NT to clog the middle like Casey Hampton of the Steelers. Plus we have limited depth at LB. It would take years to properly convert to a 3-4... and a new coordinator.
