I have decided - I don't like the 3-3-4 alignment. I didn't like it when I heard this is what TW likes, and after a season and a half, I still don't like it. It works against bad teams because you can get away with it. Against better teams, you have to bring the heat and control the LOS. Bring heat and that means DB's and LB's don't have to cover as long in coverage. Opposing offenses get scrambled up when consistent pressure is brought.
We have the edge rushers. We have a very stout interior DL group. Put them together, and you have something really good. Mess around and try to cheat the system (get away with not rushing enough DL guys), and you not only get beat by the run, but also the pass when pressure is not enough. We can line up 4 more, fine. But a 3 man front on defense - we are not good enough to do it and beat the better teams.
