Default 4-3 or 3-4

Are the patriots better off in the 4-3 or the 3-4...they used to go the 4-3, but against the bills they went the 3-4, and the effect was devastating...
they have so many good linebackers, I would hate to see them go back to the 4-3, especially against a pass oriented cincinnati...

They'll use what they think is effective against that team.

i agree. and sence there DE's are big and slower they'll probably use some of those linebackers as DE's(colvin, thomas) when they go to the 4-3

To be honest it's better to mix it up if you can... Because if the offense has to prepare for both looks it's an advantage to the defense.

I think you can disquise more in the 3-4 and if you have the talent to do both why not do it...

I thought they've always played a 3-4. It really depends, they need to use a 3-4 because they have so many awesome LBs to use in that scheme, stick to the 3-4.

They used to always play 3-4 till last year when I beleive against the Bills they came out in 4-3. They play what they think gives them the best chance to win. Right now 3-4 looks a lot better because they have so many great linebackers and Seymour is out.

Oh alright, because I just seemed to remember that they came out in a 3-4 quite few times last year.

Their 3-4 is their best no doubt. When they do a 4-3 they bring Vrabal up and put him down in a 3 point. So either way your gonna get some heat.
