Derrick Johnson at MLB
sort of like the Baltimore Ravens D ... 2 big,fat guys to stuff the run and protect the MLB. Hali and Houston going after the Passer.
Not sure Belcher would have a place but adding to 2 Linebackers in one offseason is not that difficult to do.
Berry playing an in-the-box safety
Kendrick Lewis is still not good enough, so we need a complete free safety imo.

Requires a totally different skill set.
You have to LBs who are versatile at stopping both the run and pass, including stud, smart MLB. You have to have 4 defensive linemen who are very, very good at both stopping the run, but also having the pass rush moves to be in passing situations. Our DEs can handle 3-4 pass rush, but will they succeed in a 4-3 where they will have their hands on the ground every play? Will they succeed when they are likely asked to add weight in order to be more effective in the trenches? Can they be consistent run stoppers when on run situations, they will be asked to be win a lot of battles in the trenches?
Can we find DTs who are big but also have the explosion and arsenal of pass rush moves to get to the QB? I don't believe that we have any of these things. Moving to a 4-3 is going to be an ordeal. We have enough pieces for a 3-4. The only place I believe we'll be light in a 1-gap 3-4 is fighting the right DE, which is not hard to find. |
