Yea, I never really understood that line of logic anyway. A good majority of the 3-4 defenses are top 15 in terms of rush defense.
Amazing write-up. I loved it.

Great read. Although, what matters most is the players you have and how they transition IMO. The best player on the d-line, Kampman, is now playing out of position. Al Harris will also be playing differently then before, and his best skills won't show in the new scheme. The 3rd player that I can see regressing is Nick Collins. Look how long it took him to become a solid starter since first coming into the NFL. Now he has to be the "smart man". Correct me if I'm wrong, but intelligence is not Nick Collins forte.
The main reason I see why Green Bay switched to the 3-4 was to help the miserable run game. In doing that, will it hurt Green Bay's top-rated secondary? I think so.

How does Collins have to be the "smart man"? I've been a lineman since peewees, so please forgive me ignorance on the matter.

I've mentioned this so many times, and apparently there are some people who still don't understand.
Just because the Packers are switching to a 3-4, doesn't mean the Packers won't use man-to-man bump-and-run coverage. The main transition will be in the front 7 (linemen and linebackers). We have smart coaches that know our teams strengths and won't take them away. As for Nick Collins, he's always been fairly intelligent, from a football sense (maybe not book smart, but he knows football). Nevertheless, I still think our defensive playcaller will be AJ Hawk or Nick Barnett, not Collins, being that any audible changes will come along the front 7, not the secondary.

The free safety is basically the quarterback of the defense in a 3-4.

I dont think Woodson, Harris, Williams, Collins, and Bigby (who will pretty much be a 5th LB) are scared.

Ok? Forgive me if I missed something, but all you did was show me other peoples thoughts. They seem to be what they think would work best. Usually the FS is the quarterback of the defense. Who are you telling me will be making the defensive calls? Do you know? Or is it pure speculation. There is probably a reason the FS has that role.

AJ has been doing it in OTA's.
Just like I figured he would.....

^This. It is a criticism posed toward Collins that had already been reflected upon and noted to have little likelihood in occurring.

Like I noted in that very long read.
One big trend came to the fore that isn't really ever talked about.
A) Games are won and lost on 3rd down.
B) The player types and numbers used for a 3-4 base defenses appear to be superior to those used by 4-3 defenses for 3rd down situational defense.
The team does not run a 3-4 in 3rd down situational defense. The bigs plugging the line come in, or the pass rushers.
Something that we had 2 years ago, but did not have last year.

No, the reporters would rather talk about who is there and who is absent.
People that have been there noted that AJ was basically an on-field coach and was doing the play calling.
