That's sort of argumentative but I understand what you're saying. Mike Shanahan felt that the defense had to be changed in order to cause more turnovers. Although the 4-3 defense under Greg Blache had a top ten ranking, it still left much to be desired. A lot of the more successful defenses in the NFL are running the 3-4. I sort of like it. It took some getting used to, but under the 3-4 defense the Redskins improved drastically from a 31st place ranking in 2010 to a 13th place ranking in 2011.
