Using this logic, you can't tell when they are in a 3-4 so maybe the Skins only played a 'Real 3-4" 10% of the time last year and all that talk about switching defensive schemes was a smoke screen...

Maybe this year they will normally be in a 2-6-3 most of the time but will disguise it so well that people watching will think it is a "3-4" just like last year's "3-4 mirage".

Hey, it could happen - - one of these days you might find another talking horse just like Mr. Ed too.
