Yes not really sure why a 4-3 would be favored over a 3-4 for Dome teams or why that makes a difference.

Plus its a small sample size of Dome teams that have won a title.
1999 Rams
2007 Colts
2010 Saints

All those teams were offense first powerhouses. That was more the defining characteristic of all of them rather than anything about the defenses.

I always thought we ignored the LB position in the draft when they were running the 3-4. Those are your biggest playmakers in that D and you want to throw some high draft capital at the position. I always thought we were slow at the LB position and it kept that defense from getting better. Grigson probably admired some team that built their LB core on low round picks.

Those teams had a chance to win a title every single season.

Freeney was wrecking Brees and the Saints in the first half. Damn it that injury he had. Second half he had nothing left to give. That was a painful game for me. Should have been Peytons second SB win.

Baskett and Caldwell, having Stover attempt a 50 yd field goal near the end of the 1st half. So fucking stupid, when he coulda pinned that Saints deep and then they probably just run out the clock.

The IRONICALLY NAMED Hank Baskett.

Baskett my ass. Can't catch a kick that comes straight to him.

The way Baskett tells the story, is that he had the ball and when he heard someone calling blue ball, blue ball he relinquished it.

May or may bot be true.

I call bullsh*t. The ball bounced off his helmet and flew 5 yards away from him. He fell flat on the turf, got up and then jumped the pile after almost a full second.

I couldnt make a gif for copyright, but.... it's here at 3:32...

Possession in the pile wasnt clear when he jumped in, but the whole thing is irrelevant if he'd caught the damn thing.
