Give a base 3-4. And also the 5 DB scheme we will probably use a majority of the snaps. I think our MLBs have been playing less than 40% of the snaps in recent years.
NT....Reader
DE....Dunlap, Atkins
OLB..Lawson, Hubbard
ILB...Pratt, Bynes
Saf...Bell, Bates
CB....Jackson, Waynes
Fifth DB (Phillips or Alexander) in for Hubbard with Pratt move to outside.
The big hole I see is OLB. Hubbard and Lawson are both really good pass rushers, but at least one of the two edge LBs generally has to play coverage. I think we need more of a hybrid type OLB who can play coverage and still rush the QB when needed. Hubbard needs to be on the field but he can play some snaps at DE and rotate with Lawson at OLB.
There really is no clear line between OLB and DE, but you can't have five guys that can't play coverage on the field at the same time very often.
