By no means am I a defensive guru but that has been the only side of the ball to improve somewhat. So we switched to a 3-4 but I didn't see any added benefits. I still felt like Key lined up as a 4th D-lineman a good bit. Are we in a transition and just not completely sold on it?

never ever ever go to a 3-4 when you have a stud dt who.....in the 3-4......will get double teamed all fricking night long.

that's just my opinion.

it may be a good defense against some spread teams but, against whisky, bama, arky, etc........you will get destroyed.

We ran out of the "base" for vast majority of the time, just like the spring game.

I think alot of that was due to two things: Wisconsin had a TON of guys moving around presnap to try and create confusion knowing this is our first game installing an entirely new defensive system, and the fact Arranda's only implemented part of the new system and will be adding more as the season progresses.

the defense is the reason we didn't lose 41-14.

dave aranda and his D is the shiny part of this turd.

A couple of tackling problems, yes, but for the most part the D did its job. being on the field the whole game will make any defense a little softer, but these guys held up very well.

a guy like valentine, his job in the 3-4 is to eat up multiple linemen, allowing for those OLB and Safety blitzes, 1 on 1s with RB's, overloaded sides etc.

fill their zone block with 1 guy and there are 2 that can attack.
