Jim Schwartz was able to get high quality play out of AH's instincts. We had a effective 4-3 defense set up. We just needed a coordinator with a brain.

And there are countless examples of how their effectiveness was laughably reduced. Rak at 4-3 OLB, Landry at FS, Dhall as the "other shutdown corner". These are suboptimal of using a player and the incentive to go to a more optimal one is there.

Not to mention that there was no need to fully commit to a 3-4 this year. This "need" for a NT was completely avoidable. Haslett's going to have to make a decision of whether they should implement some 4-3 schemes so we can get more out of guys like AH. And not just AH, but Cater, Golston, etc.
