I just thought this would make things easier, or cleaner on the main board as the draft draws nearer and the speculation reaches exponential limits.
For example:
I stated something similar in other threads, but I think we are possibly going to line up as 43 front, with the option of easily shifting into a 34.
Vrabel will become our RDE, which isnt too hard to imagine with his size (and hopefully some speed). With Tank and Dorsey playing the DT's, and McBride on the other side, our 4 front is established.
Our LBers are unknowns, other than DJ really (so, more speculation needed?).
I do not think it is too far a stretch of the imagination (for this year at least, being we are void of a lot of 34 personell, hell, any personell) that we can have Vrabel drop back (or slide over) from his RDE position to take up the ROLB position. Dorsey could then slide over to the RDE position, Tank could play NT (assuming he really does weigh as much as he looks like he weighs, and kept his phenom strength), and McBride gets to play his natural position of LDE in a 3 front.
I know there is concern for Dorsey, we will just have to see though, and he seems to be the only fit for now (Hali arguably, if he bulks up some more). Dorsey is 1 to 1/2 an inch shorter than Igor Olshansky, and the same weight. GD also has some freakishly long arms. Again, its a wait and see type of deal.
Once they shift into the 3 front, DJ would slide to his ILB position from his OLB position he holds in the 43.
that is juts an example of one of the many types of speculation that we can consolidate here, in this thread, to later be ignored and another thread started.
Another could be the idea of Pollard moving to a LB position similar to Donnie Edwards (in size at least). Maybe an ILB position to forever cover the TE and RB? I dont know!
Sorry if re-post, and sorry if lame, I was bored.
