Jordan played in a 3-4 in college. Smith played in that role on our 3 man fronts with Williams.
But to our defense overall, I really see us being more of an "amoeba" defense like what Ryan did in Cleveland against us than just a straight up 3-4.
Look at guys like Hawthorne and Wilson, who can play both inside and outside. Look at guys like Vacarro, Jenkins, and White, who can play different roles in the secondary. Up front, you have a guy like Hicks who can cover the nose or play on the end.
I wouldn't be surprised to see plays with only one guy with his hand in the dirt and bizarre looking personnel packages, for example.
Because of the rules in favor of the offense, you really have to scheme better and confuse the opposition into cheep turnovers and minimal gains/negative plays. One way to accomplish this is to make it as difficult as possible for the QB and OL to know what the coverage is and where the pressure is coming from.

Coleman and Jordan have both played in a 3-4(I'll give you Jordan was just in college, but he was a beast 3-4 end in college). Hicks projected as a possible 3-4 coming out of college. As Soph said, Smith played some 3-4 under GW.
Smith is the only one out of the top 4 rotation I have some doubt about doing it full time, but then again someone said Ryan mentioned him as an OLB(not sure if he meant part time or full time; guessing part time).
That said, Jordan does not have to rotate out. He's very young and fresh and played just about every snap last year. That leaves 3 guys to rotate one spot, and one of them came from Ryan's 3-4 in Dallas(and I think Cleveland also).
