Zimmer is risky, but if he can run his Dad's defense, the rewards are tremendous and you have Gibbs to mentor him along the way.

4-3 is just too much to switch too right now. Say it's 4-3 under. The DL is virtually the same alignments in that and Sutton's scheme. Plenty of differences as well but when free agency, the draft, 4/5Tech, nose, and 3T you see plenty of the same players at those positions with KC, SEA, now GB with Pettine....they're interested in the same guys. But the LB's are different. Ragland would probably play mike or will but those ATL and SEA LB's are fast sideline run and chase guys. So we might think ok put Eligwe or KPL at the mike and Ragland at the will. Or even Ragland at the Otto (Sam-Bruce Irvin role) and use Houston at the Leo/Rush End. But Houston is a stud on the strong side. I don't know it's just risky and complicated unless it's a really good coordinator that isn't afraid to switch back to a 3-4 if need be. Not to mention we would need to get that many more DL with the switch.
