Gonna be just fine running the 4-3. Back to the good ole days for the defense.

Top ten defense in 2020, which will put us on the fast track to a consecutive SEC title and CFP appearance.

It will be interesting to see how the roster fits the 4-3. In a 3-4, you have a huge NT and two DLs that are typically in the 6-4, 300 range. In a 4-3, you don't usually have a big (330+) NT type, but rather quicker DT types and smaller (250 to 275) DEs. In the 3-4, you have OLBs generate he pass rush. In the 4-3, you want it to be the DEs. We shall see.

You can do variations of 4-3 with a nose tackle called 4-3 under or 4-3 over.

Call Chiasson a LB all you want but he was a hand on the ground DE most of the time. The 3-4 vs 4-3 has little to know bearing by the time calls are made and shifts and packages are in place.

I'm pretty sure the coaches have a decent idea of what they are doing!
