would Chad Jones make an All American LB next year

I'd rather move Hatcher to LB.

good point thunderbird.

we went to that package quite a bit and if we continue with having that as an aspect of what we do then I'm fine with it. I just don't want to make a wholesale change and be married to the 4-2-5. the 4-3 is more flexible and is more easily adjusted vs. shifts and motions.

And as for the OP I don't think a move of Jones to LB would be good. He has no problems making plays and tackles from safety where as Coleman stuggled at times in the tackling department. We put him in less space at LB and helped him out a lot. Keep Jones at S and move one out of Hatcher or Francois to LB. We need another OLB to step up and I think either of those guys might be our best bet there. The problem you run into with starting Jones at OLB is we need another safety and I don't like Taylor/Hatcher/Francois starting alongside Loston as much as I like Jones starting alongside Loston and Francois or Hatcher at LB.

We already have a depth problem at DT so why would we go to 4-2-5 and have two of them in the game. Our team fits the 3-4 scheme way better with players body types.
