Interesting, didn't see that. I wonder how he deviated from the 3-4 tree he was from to evolve into this front.

 

EDIT:

 

If I'm reading that correctl (and assuming they were correct in their breakdown), his scheme is the opposite of our scheme. Whereas the LEO and the 3T are on the same side of our defense and the 5T and SAM/OTTO on the other, the Eagles had their LEO/Predator on the same side as the 5T and their SAM on the opposite side. Given this front and our players, that would mean:

 

    Marks - Roy - Odrick

Skuta - Poz - Telvin - Fowler

 

Ironically, similar to the Eagles on the article, Poz would be the one that's a bit of an odd-man out. I know he's a "thumper" and a run stopper, but I've seen him struggle get off blocks and I think he operates best when he's "protected". On the other hand, Telvin and Fowler should flourish on the same side with Miller and Odrick taking up space.
