FAYETTEVILLE — Much has been made of the defensive switch to the 3-4 alignment.
Most admit it was the right thing to do at the right moment. Giving up 39 rushing touchdowns last season produced a change has to be good mentality anywhere you looked.
But there have been warnings from those who have been part of such transitions in the past, both at the college and pro level. It takes time. Senior Bowl executive Phil Savage, a former NFL coach, said the transition takes well over one season to execute.
That may be true, but there are at least some Arkansas players that don't buy that, mainly because they've been in the 3-4 most of their football careers.
