I'm just curious, do you think Saban will stick to his original plan of mostly 4-3 w/some 3-4 here and there, or change it to more 3-4 to accomodate our lack of DT depth?
 
It's very possible, going to the 3-4 only uses one tackle, where as the 4-3 uses 2 tackles. We are thinner at tackle now and deeper at LB so it might make sense...

Same plan. Traylor is too old to play a full time 3-4 NT. Chester is too injured and Carter is too small. We are forced by our personnel to play a 4-3 base and throw some 3-4 looks in there.

If anything, we play more 4-3 because of lack of DT depth. Carter, Zgonina, and Romero are 4-3 DT's. Chester, TimBo, and Traylor are the only 3-4 DTs and Chester isnt rehabbing well, TimBo is borderline retirement, and Traylor is going on 36 and the only healthy 3-4 DT we have.
