yes DJ can play OLB, but other than that when we move Hali/Houston up we have a bunch of scrubs.

DJ can play MLB in the 4-3. He did in 2008.

I'd rather find two new OLBs than two 1-gap 3-4 DL.

I don't really worry about Tamba or Houston producing pressure-wise in a 43. I do however think they are both great in a 34 and wonder if they will be that good in the 43. Where we are we have 3 LB's that fit great in their spots. I don't really think our Dline will be improving enough to open up two holes at LB as well as moving Tamba and Houston. And that's assuming we resign Dorsey.

Exactly. Not to mention finding a Mike, which can be a huge challenge, since they are one of the quarterbacks of the defense.

And let's be honest, DJ wasn't good in the 4-3. The guy vacated lanes too often leading to huge runs on the outside. In the 3-4, he's not responsible for that anymore and it frees him up to make plays.

Chiefzilla you are way off on this.

DJ can absolutely play 4-3 mike.

Bailey and Dorsey would be every bit as good at playing the 1-gap in a 3-4 as Poe and Dorsey would be playing DT in a 4-3. Except that in a 3-4, their role as DEs aren't nearly as critical as their role as DT in a 4-3.

I'd rather not be near the bottom of the league in rushing defense, which is basically what you're advocating. Either Hali or Houston needs to stay at LB.

How am I off on this? They experimented with him in the Mike, and he wasn't good. He was only adequate as an OLB.

Finding a Will that can excel in the Tampa 2 isn't easy.

We need to be focused on fixing the OFFENSE with our high draft picks.

DJ played 208 snaps in the 4-3 as a mike backer in 2008.

He had a +1.8 rating and more importantly, 11 defensive stops, which is a very good stops-to-snaps ratio.

I have a hunch we're going 4-3. DJ will be just fine in this role.

ROFL

Just stop, those guys can't play 1-gap at all.

What happens if we switch and the tackles still don't work? We are then looking at holes at 2 LB spots and the tackles. I personally would prefer to stay. I like the 34 more in general though so I am always going to lean that way, especially if the personnel is not screaming 43.

It's easier than finding a guy like JJ Watt.

That's what we need if we stay 3-4.
