You're going to line up in what basically looks like a 4-3. However it's going to be a specialized style of 4-3 with some really big ****ers that can stop the run. Basically a type of 4-3 where Chris Jones plays strong side end there are 2 massive DT's and you have a guy like Dee Ford as a moveable versatile rusher. This way you can play the run and get pressure out of your front.
I think that will then move to the 3 LB's that play behind that being smaller more athletic guys because they are only there to cleanup the run but mainly deal with all of the passing routes.
Secondary will depend on scheme but I think playing a lot of man is going to become something no one does so I think you'll see a ton of zone and teams looking for safeties that have corner speed and cover abilities.
That's my thought I could be wrong but that to me seems to be where defense might be able to play with the way the rules are now.
