So Meyer likes the 3-4 on base downs and since so many here like it I'll try to see what players we have today(including those who are now FA) and how a 3-4 would look like. 

DE Bryan (Costin)
NT Woods (Hamilton)
DE Gotsis (Smoot)
OLB Allen
ILB Schobert
ILB Quarterman
OLB Chaisson
CB Henderson
CB Jones (Claybrooks)
S Wilson
S Jones

The odd man out is Jack. I don't think both him and Schobert can play inside together and since Jack struggled with being a middle backer before I will go with Schobert. Instead I put Quarterman there who is more of a run stuffer. 

This is just a base defense so don't worry too much. For nickel the question would be if they would go for a 3-3-5 or a 4-2-5. The latter would look a bit like what we had this season and I think this is what we should use. 

DE Allen
DT Hamilton
DT Costin (Bryan)
DE Chaisson
OLB Jack
MLB Schobert
CB Henderson
CB Jones (Claybrooks)
NB Herndon
S Wilson
S Jones



Using the players I did then we should upgrade one DE, get a good MLB to complement Schobert(unless Jack or Quarterman actually fits), get one outside corner and at least one safety. Wouldn't be against a nickel either.
