I think we just have to reconcile ourselves to the fact that a 4-3 defense in 2022 means something different than it did in 2006, which I think was the last time we had a 4-3.  Back then it mean two defensive tackles, two defensive ends, one “Mike” inside linebacker and two Outside linebackers (a “Sam” and a “Will”).  It looks like now, we are talking about two defensive linemen, three “Edge” players, who are defensive line/linebacker hybrids and two inside linebackers, at least when we play 7 defensive players up front, which in any case is the minority of the time.
