Well said
It won't be 4-3, it will be 4-2-5 with Skrine spending a lot of time on the field and Pryor picking up come MLB duties and Harrison being out and Coples hand in the dirt.
Bowles played more nickel and dime in Arizona than any other NFL team, over 60% of the time.
We don't have the personnel at OLB to play a traditional 4-3.

Just make sure as you write the article you consider personnel on the roster. Coples and Pace are not John Abraham and Cameron Wake.
The cards didnt have a single guy with 10 sacks last year...Okafor (8 sacks) is 260 and built a little like Mauldin and Pace (much smaller than Coples) and their next sack leader was their DE Campbell who weighs 300lbs (only 7 sacks).
Our defensive personnel with Williams, Mo, and Sheldon doesnt resemble the personnel Bowles had with Arizona at all...so assuming we play a similar blitz happy defense may be the wrong assumtpion, despite Bowles leading the league in blitzes last year...he may not have to this year with that group of dlinemen.
The only pass rusher miami had with more than 6 sacks was Wake...and the guy with 6 was dlinemen Oliver...again, Miami personnel doesnt seem like it matches what we built here.
I wouldn't expect our defense to resemble either model, since we can generate a pass rush with a front 4...something neither of those rosters appear could have accomplished.
Lets hope they build their defensive strategy around their defensive personnel...which doesnt resemble anything near where they are coming from (our roster is much better on D). Just my opinion though. Please post a link when you're done. Should be a fun read.
Wilkerson is 315 and Richardson is 290...I'd probably stick Wilkerson inside...but they can surely rotate.
This was my thinking also

Nice avatar! Is Leonard Williams going to be added to that picture wearing nerdy, preppy sh*t also?
