The switch to a 3-4 defense

You'll see some type of hybrid system to start. Breese and Cam (if he's on the team) will be DE's. Ridgeway has the size to play nose, he is probably the only one that fits the mold. Foskey and a slimmed down Granderson could be OLB's and stand up and rush. Foskey did a bit of that at ND. The first year will be a hodgepodge of trying to fit square pegs in round holes and seeing if something fits. I'd be very surprised if we field a competent defense in year one. We've had a "prototype" for out defense and that prototype is pretty much being fazed out with the switch to a 3-4. You'll probably see a lot of 4 man fronts the first year just to try to utilize players that are currently on the roster.
