4-3 has changed. They are finding ways to find pressure packages just as effective as 3-4. The increasingly popular double A gap blitz featured by Jim Johnson years ago is a good example and it's a defense that relies on sending a lot of pressure from your LBs. These days, fronts don't matter all that much anyway since defenses are flexing the fronts and they play a ton of snaps in nickel anyway.
