Chances that LSU runs some 3-4 next season?

With our defensive line not being as good as last year, and lots of LBs with lots of potential, do y'all think Chavis will run the 3-4 next year? Beckwith and Melvin jones look like they could get a good bit of playing time in this system. Not to mention Kwon And Debo are animals. Barrow is pretty solid as well.
If so, which lineman/ linebackers do y'all think will play where?

Did it against A&M, and yep, you'll see it again, in some form.

Just because you have depth at LB it doesn't mean that you should run a 3-4

You need a solid NT to run the 3-4 as your base defense

And the type of LBers you're looking for aren't necessarily the same type of guys

Kwon just isn't an OLB in a 3-4 any way you slice it

that wasn't a 3-4, that was the Mustang. it's our dime package and it has a 3 man front, but only 2 LBs. we've run that since Chavis has been here (though in 09 it could be called a 3-3-5, Harry Coleman was part LB, part nickel).

Which 4 linebackers were on the field at the same time?

Link? I'm pretty sure that was 3-2-6 and 3-3-5, not 3-4.

This has already been discussed several times before. We don't run a 3-4.... Chavez isn't a 3-4 coach. The three man front you saw was a 3-2-6 and a 3-3-5 in some cases. What is everyone's obsession with the freaking 3-4 anyway? Our defense has been just fine in a base 4-3.

Our d-line will be fine. Go look at a depth chart and you won't think it's going to decline.

It's not linebackers you need in a 3-4 it's d-line. We don't have those types of players.

there s absolutely no reason for lsu to run the 3-4.

its like wanting lsu run the spread option, no reason to do it.

You need a really good defensive line and it's too much to ask to change a defensive scheme if there is no need to.

Please try me, if you think I don't know football.

It's amazing how much confidence people get from hiding behind a username.

Dude, your post is a perfect example of how you "don't know football". Just because we have a lot of good linebackers doesn't mean we could or should move to a 3-4. Totally different scheme than we've been running and we don't have the personnel for it. Pretty simple.
