The move to a 3-4 defense should be interesting and we probably won't know a whole lot until the Spring regarding where each player ends up. We've basically been playing with three down linemen, a standup edge player, and two linebackers. With only Machado (hopefully, depending on the extent of his injury) and Grubbs returning at LB with much in the way of experience, we now will apparently start four linebackers. I'd think the guys who played the Joker/Dog position might be first up at outside linebacker but Hodges and Deal, our primary guys at the position, are now gone. A "beefed up" nickle back could also be an option. Does anybody have any thoughts on an intial depth chart for a 3-4 defense. Depending on down and distance we apparently will also play between four and seven backs, though we've also done that in the past.
