I don't see the need to be all up in arms over this; as AU mentioned it is still essentially a 4 down lineman front, with one of them standing instead of 3/4 point stance (Hubbard and Dunlap did it quite a bit).

We're still going to run 2 LBs out there, most plays.

Well if we use the traditional 3-4 at times we would have the big NT in the middle (Billings or Tupou) and Geno lined up on the
edge against a Tackle instead of having to fend off a Center and a Guard all the time. I think this is a big move myself, I still think
we would need another 3-tech type of DT on the other side. Dunlap and Hubbard could be on the other side but they also could 
be used as LB's in the traditional 3-4. Same with Lawson. It is a big difference if they do line up in a traditional 3-4 at times.
