Since we are getting rid of our best Pass rushing DE anyway.

Pass rushing 3-4 LB seem easier to find then Elite 4-3 ends. Star (who IMO lost weight to be a better pass rushers this off season which I think hurt his run stopping ability) could put his weight back on and play NT. Then Short and CJ can play DE in 3-4 not a bad fit for either. TD and Luke in the middle would be great. You could even put TD as one of the 3-4 outside backers. He is the same size and weight as James Harrison.

Finally Ron and McDermott are well versed in the 3-4. So we wouldn't need a major coaching change.

IMO we could make a smooth transition to a 3-4 if we needed to.

It might work. The number one obstacle is whether Star can hold the nose. Which I think he probably could. TD is already a good blitzer. Blackburn + Luke at ILB, TD and either Klein or an offseason addition at OLB. Probably want someone bigger than Klein though.

Klein and Luke on the inside and TD and a off-season addition on the OLB.

Pass rushing OLBs are no easier to find than DEs.  I don't know why people always think that.

 

3-4 OLBs that can rush and cover well are equally hard to find as DEs that can rush and defend the run well.  A 3-4 OLB that is just good at rushing is easier to find than a DE that's just good at rushing.  IMO.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
