Anybody can see that our defense is terrible...but how would we go about fixing it?

With the current 3-4 base set, honestly, I look across all the starters and none of them jump out at me as "wow, he's doing a terrible job." It just seems that week after week we seem to have little, little mistakes that pile up.

This observation leads me to believe that the 3-4 isn't really all that it's cracked up to be. Mainly, it seems to be a defense built to stop the run...but we're having absolutely zero success against the pass!

Accordingly, here are the changes I would make...I would move back to the 4-3 set, and put canty and spears as DTs. Make DeMarcus and Hatcher the ends.

I'd make Roy the MLB, with Akin and Bradie on the OLB.

This would leave Davis at SS and leave FS open for Watkins. In the offseason, we really need to focus on getting an absolute stud at FS, especially if we're going to continue to use Roy at SS.

Sometimes I feel like Parcells view of defense is antiquated. The "bigger is better" mentality works  as long as we get a decent pass rush, but with our lack of one right now, our big guys get killed because their lack of speed shows.

Anyways, these are just my thoughts. I'm curious to hear all of yours.
