On paper a switch to 3-4 looks good. Our current edge rushers came from that scheme in college and are way more adept to playing a 3-4. The problems come in the fact that the Ravens blitzed a lot. In order to do this you need to have a strong secondary and that is by far, the weakest area on the team. We need 2 new starting Safeties, a starting CB opposite Henderson and a new Nickel corner. We have a lot to do to make this a success and we must focus on the secondary in free agency.

As far as the D-Line, I would like to see us re-sign Duane Smoot in lieu of the scheme change. He would be a solid 5 Technique alongside Doug Costin with DaVon Hamilton at NT. Allen and Chaisson would serve as OLB's and Jack and (unfortunately) Schobert would be in the middle. I would like to add another solid OLB type just in case of injury to one of our starters. We're pretty thin at this area other than Allen and Chaisson. I look for us to have a totally different looking defense with a lot of new names next season.
