I think we're all assuming Edwards wants to run a standard 3-4 defense where the NT has 2 gap responsibilities. Obviously our current personnel doesn't have that huge NT who can do that.
However, we could run a 3-4 much like Dallas which focuses on faster, quicker defensive lineman with one gap responsibilities backed up with big, fast linebackers behind them. Williams, Stroud and Johnson could all contribute in a one-gap 3-4 defensive alignment. I mean Jay Ratliff in Dallas isn't very big and he does great as a one-gap NT.
We need depth but this would allow us to fit our personnel to the chosen scheme while we bring in new players to fit our 3-4.
