Houston is not a 4-3 OLB.

Shitty.
Hali didn't blossom until he became a 34 OLB. And Houston would be a DE, not LB.

Houston - Powe - Poe - Hali FA - DJ - FA |

what it should have been
Babin-Jackson-Dorsey-Hali Draft Pick/FA - DJ - Draft Pick/FA but apparently that wasnt the right 4 year plan. |

I don't think it would perform as poorly as most are suggesting. Powe/Poe in the middle would be a hell of a force and would command a lot of attention. Hali wouldn't be a beast like he's been as an OLB, but he'd still be an 8-10 sack rusher, IMO and possibly a little better. Houston is the real question but I'm not convinced he couldn't make that transition extremely well.
He'd need to bulk up a bit - probably to about 270, but why couldn't be he an elite pass-rusher as a DE? Look at Chris Clemons in Seattle - Houston is built almost exactly like Clemons right now and he has the frame to carry even more weight without losing his burst (which is also better than Clemons, IMO). Houston as Chris Clemons on the left side of the line would be an absolute nightmare matchup. DJ would certainly end up in the middle, Belcher would be gone and we'd need to come up with a couple of good OLBs, to be sure. Alternatively, I think Houston could be a decent ROLB as well and you could see what Bailey could do with that LDE slot. Or even Jackson. I will admit that I'm personally biased here - I don't like the 3-4. That said, I think this team has personnel that would be just fine if asked to set up a 4-3 front, provided that they have an off-season to fill the holes at the OLB spots.

Houston would need to add some weight to be a LE, too. He's listed at 258.
And Pest has it exactly right with the FA's flanking DJ. We don't have the LB's to run a 4-3. You could make some intriguing combinations on the D-line, though. |
