Broncos defense experimenting with 4-man front

The Broncos (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/broncos/) are — and will remain — primarily a 3-4 defense (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/3-4-defense/), but the team is experimenting with a four-man front.
In the first quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Steelers, the team showed a 4-3 look with its starters, against Pittsburgh’s first team. The four down linemen were Robert Ayers (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/robert-ayers/) at right end, Justin Bannan (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/justin-bannan/) and Jamal Williams (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/jamal-williams/) at tackle, and Ryan McBean (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/ryan-mcbean/) at right end. The three linebackers were Mario Haggan (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/mario-haggan/), D.J. Williams (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/dj-williams/) and Baraka Atkins.
The Steelers rushed for four yards on that play.
On the second-down snap, the Broncos (http://blogs.denverpost.com/broncos/tag/broncos/) were back into their normal 3-4 alignment.

The blitz packages where highly effective. I was looking forward to seeing them in action... This is going to be a solid defense this season.

Its not an actual 4 man front...its a 3-4 rolled to compensate for a team that favors running to one particular side vs the other.

Uhmmmm ayers played DE in college. Other than having his hand in the dirt on this play how is the lineup any different than normal?
