[TNMK]

Starting--------------------2nd string
DE- Greg Ellis-------------Kenyon Coleman
DT- Jason Ferguson-------La'Roi Gover
DE- Marcus Spears--------Eric Ogbogu

OLB- Kevin Burnett
ILB- Dat Nguyen-----------Kalen Thornton
ILB- Bradie James
OLB- DeMarcus Ware------Al Singleton

CB- Terrance Newman----Aaron Glenn
CB- Anthony Henry--------Pete Hunter

FS- Cory Hall---------------Justin Beriault
SS- Roy Williams-----------Lynn Scott

Pretty good 3-4 alignment, although I wouldn't be surprised to see Glover play DE. He may start with Spears rotating in at DE and either Spears or Glover moving to NT on passing downs. It's hard to see Ogbogu getting much playing time in a 3-4.

AS for LB, I think Shanle has a chance to be a factor. Maybe not as a starter, but possibly.

Cory Hall is a stretch at FS since he hasn't been signed as yet. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Hunter end up there.

As for 4-3 defense (which may still be our base defense this year):

DE: Ellis & Spears (Ware on passing downs)
DT: Glover and Ferguson (Spears replacing Ferguson on passing downs)
OLB: Burnett and Ware (Shanle, Singleton, O'Neal or James may play if one of them isn't ready yet)
MLB: Dat Ngyun
CB: Henry & Newman (Glenn will be extra DB on passing downs)
FS: Hunter (may be a stretch, but Parcells may tell him to make the move or he will be released)
SS: Williams

[devman90]

yes very bold prediction on Hall

i'd like to see

D Line:
Spears (if he gets down to playing weight)
Ferguson
and Ellis

LB's:
Ware + Burnett (if he's ready) on the ends
Nguyen of Course
and then bradie james (if he steps up)

Secondary:
Henry + Newman
Give Berriault a shot (Berry-oh)
Roy Williams

[Pete Johanson]

Got a lot of IF's in there Devman.

[devman90]

i know, but if they pay off, it's a big one

[Pete Johanson]

Well, at least they are all reasonble IF's - nothing there is a stretch.

[devman90]

I put berry-oh cause thats how his name is pronounced berry oh not berry alt
