Dorsey in the 3-4.

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.

Here's the thing.....

Even if he does want the switch to a 3-4.......it's not required to all happen in his 1st offseason. He could fill the LB core pretty quickly if he wanted too. He could move DJ to one of the ILB spots and sign Suggs this offseason. Now he has two LB spots to fill. He could put Demorrio Williams at the other OLB spot for next season. Is Williams the best fit? Probably not....but he'll work for now. Trade down in the 1st round (if possible) and draft Maulauga or Curry. You now have 3 of your 4 LBs for the 3-4.
