Hali is not nearly big enough to play DE in a 3-4. He’s listed at 265…note: He plays around 250-255. Also, Derrick Johnson is not big enough to play outside LB in the 3-4. Also, Tyler would probably flourish as a nose. He gets to put on a little more weight (shouldn’t be a problem…he’s already at 325)

DL: Boone, Tyler, Dorsey
MLB: Vrabel, Johnson, Williams, ?(Curry)
CB: Flowers and company
S: Pollard & Page

At this point we have at least two capable linebackers on the roster, and if we get Curry we’ll have a 3rd. We can survive with a stopgap for a 4th LB for now (we did it with Percy Snow in ’89). I think we’re more likely to see Hali as the 2nd DE rather than Boone. Boone is closer to the right size, but Hali is far more athletic.

This is the first time in a long time that I can honestly say I have no idea what the hell is going on.

Personnel for 3-4…
Alfonso Boone & Dorsey (DE’s)
Tank Tyler (Nose Tackle) by the way Wilfork is identical size

OLB – Cannot convert Hali or Mcbride…these must be drafted or come from Free Agency

MLBs – Derrick Johnson and ???(Draft or Free Agency) I can’t picture Demorrio moving inside…

CBs – Flowers and Company

FS – Page
SS- Pollard

…All in all we need two OLB’s and one MLB to complete the transition…

By the way, check out Darnell Dockett playing DE with the Cardinals…he may be an inch or two taller than Dorsey but they are the same weight…

The height issue with DEs has to do with arm length more than anything else, but even at 6’1″, I don’t think Dorsey is struggling in the arm length category: http://static.nfl.com/static/site/img/draft/pro-days/80398087BL_LSU_11.jpg

I’d love to see him play DE in a 3-4

I completely agree. Don’t know why people are freaking out about Dorsey, as if he was a great success with how he was used in 2008. A move to DE in the 3-4 could be the best thing that ever happened to him.

By the way, I can’t believe we kept the DL coach. Of course, he could only do so much with what he was given.
