5 Current Players That Will Fit Into The New Defensive Scheme

1) B. Bunkley-Nose Guard- typical size for a 3-4 nose guard and has experience from his denver playing days and anyone with experience can help this transition.
2) A. Hicks- Strongside End- he has the size and athleticism to play the 5 tech in the 3-4. the hope is that he turns into the next Haloti Ngata. yes i know Ngata is one of kind but Hicks kinda reminds me of him.
3) C. Jordan- Weakside End- Cam played the 5 tech in college so the transition shouldn't be too strenuous for him.
4) M. Wilson- Weakside Outside Linebacker- His only professional highlights have come when he rushes the passer and he was moved to end last season. With his size and speed he could turn into a formidable pass rusher.
5)R. Harper- Strong Safety- Harper has been dreadful in coverage but in the Ryan system, the SS plays really close to the LOS to help in run support and is often used on blitzes. Basically this system plays to all his strengths.
i know, CSB.

I wouldn't say that, but Ryan did use an undersized Ratliff in Dallas.

I could see Junior Galette do really well also

Not sure how much playing time he will see, but i really like what I saw from Tom Johnson last year to get behind Hicks in the rotation?

How about IAQ he played really well.

So we have Jordan/Bunkley/Hicks on the front line - not bad
We have ?/Lofton/Hawthorne/Wilson - a little weak on the outside (use #15 pick)
We have Greer/Robinson/Harper/Jenkins - even if you don't like Harper, he will be a stud in the new scheme (run stopper/blitzer)
If we can pick up some OLB in free agency or the draft, I could see this defense easily jumping into the middle of the pack next year.

Bunkley is the most interesting part. He's not a penetrator, so the Ratliff comparison isn't great.
He can do one thing better than anybody else in the league, sans Wilfork. He can maul the guy who lines up across from him. I think it'd be really interesting to see him slide to DE on obvious run situations.

I know I'm in the minority but why not try him at ILB? I think his speed would be more of a nuiasance for an offense on running plays where as I think he would get mauled on running plays trying to hold the contain on the outside.
and I think he would be an effective blitzer form the inside on passing downs.
he was an inside backer in college.
I think maybe another reason we didn't see him get as much playing time last year was that he wasn't that effective at stopping the run as a DE.
Looking back, what would it have hurt to have him out there? Nobody else had a clue what was going on...
