I think whatever determinations you make about our defense have to be tied into what Dorsey, by far our most expensive defensive player (Surtain about to be released), is capable of.
I think it's pretty clear Dorsey's not NT material, but might he get by as a 3-4 DE?
What are your thoughts?

Wow. I don't know how many players, or how much rebuilding you can do in one year.
We have a lot of work to do just to have
3 starting line backers on the field and depth to cover for injuries.
I just don't see how we could put ourselves in the position to need
4 starting line backers plus depth.
Plus the 3-4 requires strong LB play, I think you'd be taking a weakness on this team and magnifying it.
Unless Pioli can pull off some miracle personnel moves, I don't see a conversion to the 3-4 as possible.
We don't have the D-line nor the LB corps to pull it off.
Now if you're talking down the road a little ways, hell as long as he can bring in the guys to pull it off, I'd be fine with it.
But it would be a large undertaking given the current roster.
