Marcus Washington & our LB's

I don't know about switching to 3-4. That's a whole new learning curve for everyone in our defense. I say stick with what made our D successful and make improvements to it; such as adding a pass-rushing DE, possible replacement for Smoot.

why would we change something that is going great? the 4-3 worked wonderfully, i see no reason to change

The big thing with Williams D is unpredictability. Our sack leaders this season were a DT and a CB! Not a DE or LB (granted, Lavar didn't play most of the year). While I agree that a true pass-rushing DE would help, I don't think they should go after any big names or anyone expensive....draft or pick up someone young that Williams and Blache can mold into the perfect DE for this defense.
