Having two pure pass rushers, plus Jones, would make the 4-man front pretty good. Just need a decent MLB. That seems easier than trying to convert a bunch of guys into things that they're not.
That said, Sutton seems to be using Ford/Houston better this year than he had in the past. I don't know the %'s but would be interested in seeing how often those guys are in pass coverage this year vs. previous seasons.

So long as both guys are on the field, NOTHING will keep them out of pass coverage short of sending 5 each time short of making them your 4-3 DEs.
That's why I hate that gripe. Anytime you send 4 guys, you gotta make a choice and put one of those guys out in the pattern.
