Junior Gallette would either blow up at a 3-4 edge rusher or be even less of a factor than he already is



If Ninkovich can succeed with NE as a 3-4 OLB, I think Galette could.

I don't think we would have to completely rework the roster like everyone says, Gallette, Tez, and Casillas are definitely all possible edge rushers.... Will Smith, Cam Jordan, and Tom Johnson are all possible DE's.... the main problem would be MLB, because we only have one LB even capable of playing the middle in a 3-4

Vilma sucked in a 3-4


Villa far from sucked in the 3-4. He had multiple 100+ tackle years under Mangini.

I think Cam Jordan and Will Smith would be pretty darn good in a 3-4 and we could re-sign Franklin for NT.


That would work.

The problem is your linebackers.

Vilma has a huge, huuuuuge distaste for the 34 (reason he left the Jets) and you don't have an outside linebacker on roster suited for it.

Fwiw, this guy is extremely football intelligent and has shown crazy flexibility on where he's placed.
