Forget the secondary as they're irrelevent for this excercise, but if you take a look at a 3-4 defense and we had a football game tomorrow, I just do not see how we could possibly pull it off.
This would be our front seven in a 3-4 as of today.
NT- Marcus Stroud, never has played in a 3-4 before and won't start now. He'll be a goner if we switch.
DE- Kyle Williams- I suppose he'd have to work, I dont like it at all.
DE- Spencer Johnson- The only person on this front line I think would work.
OLB- Aaron Maybin- Unknown but big upside
OLB- Aaron Schobel- Another Kampman? And that's assuming he doesn't retire or get cut for defensive/cap purposes.
ILB- Kawika Mitchell- LIke It
ILB- Paul Posluszny-- HATE IT. He's an OLB in a 3-4, a 3-4 LB has to be able to shed off blockers and that's his weakness.
( I think you can say goodbye to Kelsay in a 3-4 and McCargo no matter what. Same with Ellison (RFA) who is a cover two guy only)
That just seems like too much to overcome and you cant forget about the offense either.
HOw the hell do you guys see this working? Especially since Nix already stated we wont be big players in FA?
