Yeah, not suddenly. It would take an offseason program and probably a few live games before the transition would click.

But that's the thing, if the coach is Marrone then he's not gonna have time for such a radical change unless he sells to Khan that it's going to take a year to do this. And there's no way the fan base accepts "We're gonna change up the scheme so we need two years to start winning games" after the past year's debacle. If it's not Marrone then we have to interview a coach who is willing to change over the defense and then start on the players. It just doesn't seem like a good time either way.

93 and 99 are not going to be here long term.  41 and 91 (hopefully) are going to be here long term.  I'm thinking about the best use of 41 and 91.

I think they are both better at defensive end than as linebackers playing in space.
