4--3-defense Stories - The Only Colors

When people discuss whom they'd like to see as the Dolphins' new head coach, the topic usually begs the question of whether or not Miami should convert back to the 4-3 defensive scheme once the next regime hits town. For any of you who aren't already aware, the Dolphins currently run a base 3-4...
