Hey Guys,

I've heard rumblings of the Arizona defense switching to a 4-3. What issues would that cause for the players?

Most notably, would Dockett Or Calais Campbell turn back into a DT? Who would be the MLB? Does this suggest a linebacker is to be traded? Maybe not to the Eagles, but to somebody? Is Paris Lenon the odd man out?

I haven't heard anything suggesting that. Do you have a link to those rumblings? It'd definitely cause a serious ripple through the Arizona defense.Ray Horton has said his biggest influence is **** LeBeau and that he expects his defense to emulate that scheme. Their draft picks reflect more of a pressure 3-4 approach than the early signs of a 4-3 transition. I'd be very surprised if they use many 4-3 looks in 2011.

I thought I read somewhere, but now that I'm searching for a link - I can't find anything.

I live in Arizona, and there's hasn't been even the faintest whisper (that I'm aware of anyway) that the Cards D will be a 4-3 this year. Whisenhunt wanted a LeBeau 3-4, so they hired someone that knew it to an extent.
