You know, I think Mario Williams would be far more effective as a 4-3 DE.

Interesting tidbit I got from twitter:
The Cowboys have interviewed Bequette who needs to add weight to play a 3-4 DE... however the Cowboys are having Hatcher DROP weight.

Hm. Sure sounds like a 4-3.

I believe there was a thread in the Newszone that explained the Cowboys defense is considered more of a 4-3 look by pro personnel people anyhow.

Yup. I think the 34/43 debate - in Dallas anyways - is exaggerated. The only reason I can see switching to a 43 is that it will allow Ratliff to use his quickness a lot more and make plays against the run, rather than trying to eat up space and getting double teamed all the time.
