I read the article...I think it's from back in October...
The Steelers did practice the 4-3...that in and of itself is interesting...
LeBeau has changed his defense from the 3-4 to the 4-3 before, when he was in Cincinnati...it was dictated by the talent available...
Also (from the NY Times Fifth Down Blog):[url]http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-67849481.html[/url]
Carnell Lake played for that Jacksonville team...Zone blitz concepts can be run from a 4-3 front as well, if you’ve got the athletes to do it. Capers used the zone blitz in a 4-3 in Jacksonville, but had the luxury of players like Tony Brackens and Bryce Paup off the edge.
Now, I don't necessarily believe that the defense will change...but, I am saying that LeBeau would be willing to adjust to the talent...
