I just don't get why people are so against the team changing to a 3-4? Did we have this much annymosity when the team changed to a WCO? Well maybe we did.

For those still hung up....

#1- Yes the defense was a top 10 defense as a 4-3.
#2- Yes the team did not have all the right pieces to run a 3-4.
#3- Yes it might have been better to use a hybrid 4-3/3-4.
#4- Yes you all have made some astute observations.

#5- BUT the team didn't. Get over it. Lets move on.
#6- Haslett was probably picked because he helped implement the Steelers "D".
#7- MS wants a "D" like what the Steelers have.
#8- MS went to see how their "D" practiced and works during his year off.
#9- MS WANTED A 3-4 DEFENSE. MS IS THE HC. WHICH MEANS HE MAKES THE DECISIONS.

If it's such a difficult thing to get over perhaps following Greg Williams is the answer. See some fans are "fans of the team", some fans are "fans of the players", why not start a new trend where there's "fans of a DC", or "fans of the 4-3."
