3-4 LB are 4-3 DE. I see Capers retiring at the end of the season, it has actually already been discussed. Question still remains, WHO REPLACES HIM? Trgovac? Moss? Perry?I find this very unlikely. This takes our best defender and plays him out of position. Where does Matthews play in a 4-3 base? He's complete enough to play any three 4-3 linebacker spots, but none of them are really pass rushing positions. He'd be wasted.
Other than Raji, none of our linemen really 4-3 linemen. They're too big and slow to be 4-3 ends, to small to be 4-3 tackles. (excluding Pickett. If we're projecting Capers being gone 'in the future,' I'm projecting Pickett to retire as well. He's getting older.)
This move would let Perry move back to a 4-3 end, but that's about the only upside to this see to moving back.
Fire Campen and Trgovac if I get to choose.
