depth at lb......could it equate to situational 3-4 on some downs?

Little depth at dl and potentially 8 or 9 strong lbs.
Ever a chance that we see 4 lbs in a particular play? ( Not corey thompson playing cloe etc..I am talking about:
Jones
Jones
Alexander
Louis
Barrow
Phillips
Welter and
Melvin or kendall).

IMO, yes.
Not a true 3-4 but we adjusted to only three DL vs A&M last year for most of the game.

unless something changes, no. that's a completely different design from a scheme/assignment standpoint. IMO you'll continue to see base/nickel with some mustang thrown in based on opponent.

possibly, but one of them will likely be at DE/ rushing from a DL position. I could see a mustang with 3 LBs as well. we've done both of those before under Chavis, mostly back in 09.

Seems like this has been discussed at length before. 
Short answer...No, Chavis is a 4-3 guy

he was. he just ran a lot more mustang (3-2-6) as the game wore on. his base has always been 4-3 though.

That was the Mustang package that has also been talked about at length. Did we ever have 4 LBs in the game at one time against aTm? (Serious question, I don't remember)

I don't think we had 4 lbs ready to play at the time. That's not the point though, I just think Chavis is not as committed to the 4-3 as much as people think. He just wants to get the best playmakers on the field. Depending on the opponent of course.

Would love to see that but it probably won't happen.

4-3 and 3-4 are base packages, you have alternate sets based on situation and opponent, but you're typically not going to switch up between those two. Lots of folks confuse nickel with 4-2-5 as well.

Agree there, you don't recruit 43 DL and LBs and expect them to fit in a 3-4 scheme. It's two totally different styles of defense. Now, is it possible we see situations where 4 LBs get on the field at one time...maybe. But it will be a small package and situational only, if at all.

I'm about 1000% sure we didn't. the only time we may - and I'm stressing MAY - have had 4 LBs at once was back in 09 when Chavis would sometimes put Shep or Riley at DE. had to try something with Pep getting 0 sacks as a starter at DE all yr (seriously, how is that possible?)

No. If we run a 3 man front, the missing defensive lineman will be replaced with a DB, not a LB

Several times. We've been a 4-3 team for years and yet people still continue to talk about situational 3-4. I don't get what people think you're going to get out of it. I don't get the questioning of d-line depth either honestly. We won't really know how good or deep the line goes till the season starts.
