Could You See Steele Moving to a 3-4 Next Season?

Just thought I'd gage tRant's opinion on moving to this defense since we are thin on prototypical 4-3 LB's next season.
If we have a good recruiting class, we will end up with a lot of beef on the inside D-line. I could see LaCoture playing NT or maybe even one of the freshman DT's to take that role. Then, have Godchaux, Herron, or LaCoture (if he doesn't play NT) take the 3-4 DE roles. Then have Key and another OLB play the outside, while Beckwith (if he stays) can team up with another LB (possibly a freshman) to play the middle.
This has the potential to confuse the players who already seemed lost at time in Steele's defense soo.... I don't know what to think

I don't see lb depth to run 34 next season

Have you seen our depth chart at linebacker? Lmao

Sooooo, we are thin on LBs and should run a 34?
I'm not seeing it.

With. LAs propensity to pump out DL and not LBs, we need to run a 43.

Dude. With what LBers? I don't want Steele changing anything from what LSU has done for the last 15 years. Run a damn 4-2-5 and play bump and run man coverage. None of this zone shite, none of this 3-4 shite. Leave that stuff at Alabama Steele.

Well the good thing about a 3-4 is that Key would be a perfect fit for a 3-4 pass rushing OLB. Like Mingo is for the browns.
And if Beckwith stays that puts us in need of an OLB and an ILB VS needing 2 OLB's if we stick to the 4-3.
My guess would be put Donnie Alexander at ILB with Beckwith, not sure who could fill the other OLB spot maybe Lewis Neal is hes quick enough.
Also I agree that Godchaux would be an excellent 3-4 DE.
I feel like Steele would be more comfortable with a 3-4. That's the scheme he coached at Bama.

Steele is terrible, and next year's d will suck. He's sucked everywhere he's been. I don't expect that to change, and he may be a huge factor in LSU losing Moses. Bama knows how bad Steele is, and that will be a recruiting tool for them.

We don't have 4 LBs

We don't have LBers

I have had this thought before as well. It all depends on if you have a couple of DE's that can stand up and play OLB.
Either way, we are then at LB next year. I think this scenario could possibly be the solution though.

Yea
Let's run a 3-4 with 215 lb duke Riley and Devin Voorhies as our LBs

Steele likes his front 4 to be big, bullish, bum rushers. I think he would want 4 down.

You need a couple of 2 gapper defensive tackles for a 3-4. We don't have any as far as I know.

Let's hope Steele isn't even in the conversation next year
Posted on 12/14/15 at 8:51 am to OKtiger
Yea, I dont see Beckwith staying.

As if we're not confused enough!
Considering our numbers at LB a move to a 3-4 would be a true indicator of the competence of our DC and head coach.
