There were very few "base" 4-3 snaps, where you had two true DTs and two true DEs, and Will/Mike/Sam linebackers. That's a personnel problem. A line of Ellis, Pouha, Wilkerson, and Coples just gives too much away to the pass and to the edges, even though they're all good players. Likewise, Harris 2012 doesn't show the skills to play Mike or Sam in a 4-3. Harris 2010, yes.

Excellent post.
