Scheme change?

Anyways, I’ve been wondering how we could possibly even fix this and have no clue.  Players just aren’t producing.  What would it take for a scheme change to a 3-4? I wanted to see what the boards insight was as to which players could make that transition, or would we have to blow this thing up completely.  Also, would a 3-4 even help our problems?  Teams run and pass on us all day, maybe it’s time for a change? Discuss.

More LBs on the field with this roster would be even worse, if that is possible.

The talent at LB is a gaping hole in the middle of the defense and makes it easy for opposing teams.  They need two solid FA LBs and they would be vastly improved.  See what this roster was like with a healthy Burfict vs. without him. 

Now, Reuben Foster was a complete moron, but I can see why Marv wanted a first-round talent at LB over Ross based on how thin the LB corps was behind Burfict.
