No way. What Jordan, Hicks, Jenkins, and Foster have shown alone is enough to keep us at 34.
If the d-line is as disruptive as we think they can be, I don't think we need a Von Miller to be effective.
Look at what happened to Aldon Smith last year in the playoffs after Justin Smith went down. He didn't register a single sack in the postseason. Even the best OLBs need their d-lines to take up blocks and cause their own disruption.

I'll say this. Ryan likes being versatile so you will see some 4-3 like we have in the preseason, but 3-4 is still our base. You'll also so some 2 man lines, 1 man lines, and no linemen, along with 3-3-5(with several variations) and plenty of other stuff.

But with Smith out I think we actually see less 4-3 as he was the main LBer switching to down lineman.

Richardson and maybe Galette could fill that role, but Smith was the best suited to do it.
