I would guess that they would go with Carter or Sample as the extra DT and Vonn Bell subbing in for one of the LBs. They have to stop the run and force them to pass, the best that we can hope for is to get teams into 3rd down and 5+.
If you ask me to put my best run stoppers out there in a 5 man DL:
Hubbard--Jenkins--Jackson--Hill--Sample.
Though Murphy could break into that discussion. Hendrickson, Ossai, and Rankins are more pass rush guys.
The last guy is likely Carter, Tufele, Bell, or one of the PS guys, Davis or Maxwell. In terms of size, I think Davis is the only guy there who is 320+.
In terms of 3 LB sets, remember ADG was out a lot last year. I think we could see Bell/Hill as the 3rd LB situationally. And Njongmeta is a thumper.
