Dude. The question you posed is "Building a defense in the modern NFL".
And we're giving you the correct answer. It starts with a scheme switch. That IS today's NFL. Today's NFL is the 43 D.
Even Andy Reid himself says that. The ability to rush the passer from the interior line.
So if we're "Building a defense in the modern NFL", well the first and most fundamental building block is the scheme itself.
The scheme will dictate personnel. The personnel being smaller, quicker and the ability to pressure with 4-down linemen, allowing you to pressure whether you're in base/nickel or whatever.
The 34 has inherent issues that cause problems when defending today's NFL offenses.
It's not "obsessing", it's the correct response to your OP.
