Depth Chart???If we play 3-4 should the starting LB's be...?

If we play 3-4, as anticipated, should the LB's line up with Torbor at SLB and Porter at WLB instead? With Crowder and Ayodele in the middle

"Also, while Sparano hasn’t said that the team is committing to a 3-4 defense, the defensive depth chart is laid out that way."

And what is it with not committing. Ins't that a known fact?

Anyone know how to add a poll to this thread?

Not necessarily. Porter is stronger at the point of attack than Torbor and it makes more sense to have Joey going against the TEs than Reggie.

The WLB pass rush more than the SLB.

While this is true, you still have to stop the run and this is one of Joey's strengths from his OLB position in the 3-4.

From what I have been reading thus far in training camp, Porter will be moving from side to side in this defense to take advantage of mismatches and it is generally better for an OLB to take on TEs/RBs instead of OTs when pass rushing.
 
Here's how I'd see it stacking up. Do note that Ayodele can play all 4 of those spots in a 3-4, Moses can play both outside spots, tho he's more suited to play the weakside with his pass-rushing skills, and Torbor can play both insides and the weakside OLB spot as well.

WOLB Anderson, Moses
WILB Ayodele, Torbor
SILB Crowder, Smith
SOLB Porter, Roth/Glymph
 
i'd roll with as of right now porter and moses on the outside and ayodele and crowder inside. torber inside and anderson outside would be next in line
