3-4 assumption. It's not etched in stone, Yard.

Is Rex lying when he states multiple fronts ,based on his roster ?

I think he's telling a white lie. When has he ever run a true multiple scheme?

Sure he'll use some different looks but he's always been a 34 base guy.

You think Rex will waste Dareus at the nose? Doubt it. He won't be using Dareus like he was using Harrison in NY. I think Stefan Charles could be the NT.

I seem to remember Dareus doing pretty well at the nose the last time he played there.

Not sure how much "nose" Dareus was actually playing though, especially on passing downs. Pettine was very multiple and was often playing with an even front.

No, I think Rex will utilize Darues and allow him to relish at the NT position.

I would have guessed:

Sam - Mario Williams
4-5 DE - Marcel Dareus
Mike - Nigel Bradham
DT/NT - Kyle Williams
Will - Preston Brown
4-5 DE - Jarius Wynn
Jack - Jerry Hughes

I'd be surprised if Rex put Dareus on the nose, but that line-up is probably the best fit across the board considering strenghts/weaknesses. Cleve's is closest to what was run under Pettine. Lawson actually started 14 games in '13 over Hughes, who came off the bench, but with the new investment I doubt that's repeated. Hopefully Wynn or Charles or Bryant can step up and be this season's version of Carrington/Branch.

That looks more like 3-4.
