[QUOTE="Techster, post: 255283, member: 360"] I think a 34 works better for us because DLs are not the primary rushers as they are in the 43. That's what we have problems with right now is our DLs can't get consistent pressure. 34 DLs are more about occupying blockers for the LBs to penetrate. 43 requires 2 DTs, as opposed to 1 DT for the 34. I think having a space eater like Adams certainly helps, but having a "jumbo" DT isn't the necessity most think it is. I think quickness and leverage with decent size (300-320 lbs) is good for the college level. Glanton could get there with his frame (currently 6'3 280) and he as the requisite quickness and athleticism, then of course we have Adams. I think CPJ mentioned at the time Groh came on and said the same thing. It's tougher for us to find DTs, so it's easier finding one for the defense as opposed to 2. LBs these days are freaks, and there's more of them. They're really the premium position in the 34. Here's a good write up of the 34 and the ideal type of players for it: [URL]http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2007958-nfl-101-the-basics-of-the-3-4-defensive-front[/URL] [/QUOTE]
