I don't know why so many feel like a scheme change would somehow cripple Geno Atkins. The guy is pretty versatile, he can play anywhere on the defensive line and be effective. I don't feel like you put him at NT, but I think he would be great at DE in a 3=4.
His stature and build are ideal for the under tackle spot in a 4-3. He's a physically unique player who's short and mega-strong/explosive. Usually 3-4 DTs have a bit more height to them. He may indeed be good in a 3-4, but he's Wolverine in a 4-3 (i.e. the best there is at what he does, lol). I hate to give up a bird in the hand for an experiment.
