The 4-3 defense was to that side of the ball as Jason Campbell was to the offensive side of the ball last year. It wasn't the problem, however, if you have a way to improve it you need to be gutty enough to go for it.

Our coverage units have been pretty soft all year, which isn't a positive, but it would have been a problem in a 4-3 zone-blitzing defense as well. Biggest difference in this game is that Kareem Moore can cover, but he can't tackle.

Essentially, I don't think he's an improvement over Doughty, but we lose some run defense for some pass defense.
