4-3 or 3-4 or 4-2-5

Which is your preferred defense? Would you want LSU to bring in a true 3-4 defense, or are you happy with what we have? It seems since Chavis has gotten here, our base D is the 4-2-5.
What yall think?

I actually love the 4-2-5 but you have to recruit the right personnel for the scheme just like any other defense.

I dig the 4-2-5. Especially with the speed we have on the d-line.

I do like the 4-2-5, because you put some rediculous speed on the field with that scheme.
Not a fan of the 3-4 at all.
But honestly each one can be as effective as the other, just gotta play to the strengths of your talent.

3-2-6! Mustang all game baby!

You can't just switch to the 3-4 without recruiting for it. (If you want the transition to go pretty smoothly)

Personally my favorite is the 3-4. I love the havoc it causes in the backfield but to play to our strengths LSU should use the 4-2-5

I really like the 4-2-5, I think that it gives the defense a lot of flexability. I am also still very partial to the 4-3 base though!

I'm old school, so I like the 4-3. One of the best NFL defensive squads EVER was a 3-4 (the Dome Patrol).
Louisiana's problem as a state is we produce too many TEs and DL, and not enough OL and LBs. We always have plenty of DBs, too. That pretty much limits us to recruiting big TEs to make OL and DEs, and larger DBs which grow into LBs. We always have a surplus of DL and a deficit of LBs. To play a 3-4, you have to have 7 linebackers who can play. With a 4-3, you can get by with 5.
That limits us to running a 4-3 or 4-2-5, even if we wanted to run a 3-4.
