i dont think the 3-4 best suits our personel.....3-4 DEs are much more like DTs than DEs......will smith and charles grant arent defensive tackles

sedrick ellis is strong and quick but isnt big enough to play 3-4 NT

scott shanle is much better at playing pass coverage than blitzing.....fujita and he are just not built to blitz from the DE position

and jonathan vilma was worthless in the 3-4.....he hated it and i dont blame him......

i hope we trade up for ndamakong suh.....he might bust but holy crap if he doesnt he will be one of the best DTs to ever play.....he doesnt have a single good move other than push the offensive linemen backwards

he isnt all that quick but his strength and footwork is just unbelievable....unrivaled in any college DT ive ever seen

I am not pushing for the 3-4, I was thinking that based off the fact that you said they were smaller, but that doesn't really make sense...

I would like to see someone to compliment JV at the lb spot. SS seems slow to me. If a RB gets the corner and he is chasing it is painful to watch

We need more athleticism there, IMHO
