I think NFL defenses are going to shift toward a 4-2-5 defense. We will probably see all D-Line personnel weighing 300+ and specialize in stuffing the run. ILBs are going to become the premium position going forward. NFL offenses have everything stacked in their favor and the college spread is here to stay.

This article does make a lot of sense and I can easily see us going with a 4 front and using Houston and Speaks as our pass rushing end that will be rotated often to keep them fresh. Ford is gone after this season if that happens. I’d love to see somebody similar to Jabrill Peppers added to our secondary/LB Corp too. That hybrid position is going to become very popular.
