Isn't the 3-4 supposed to be more forgiving of shittier personnel?

That's why the defense is in the process of being overhauled. I'd say it'll take at least 3 years before Chip finally gets all of the right personnel. What does it matter? Last year's defense was arguably the worst in the NFL playing the 4-3. It's not the scheme it's the players - shit players and going to be shitty regardless of the scheme.
