Actually we do have 3-4 personnel, we made them all lose 20-40 lbs during the offseason thinking they would be faster...

If you had Kikaha and Edebali on the field at the same time - you'd have an honest pass rush...

Kikaha is a true 3-4 OLB. Ellerbe is a true 3-4 ILB but he's hurt. Anthony is a true 3-4 OLB. David Hawthorne is a not a 3-4 LB. Jordan is pretty versatile, but I think he might be best suited as a 4-3, pass rusher. Akiem Hicks would probably be a better 4-3 DT. John Jenkins and Kevin Williams as well. I don't think our "3-4" personnel is good enough to truly play it. We haven't really committed to either base.
