So are we going back to a 3-3-5, 3-4 defense? Does our personnel match up?

I'm not quite the X's and O's guy but this was FAU's defense last year. Does it fit our current roster?

A 3-4 would make more sense then a 3-3-5. We are short kn 3 bigger linemen though for the the front 3. Basically we will have 1 or 2 dt and 3 to 4 defensive ends blitzing every play. We have a lot of smaller defensive ends that could line up as an edge rusher. I figure brining back our old defensive line coach would have us switch back to 4 3 4.

The front 3 with size would consist of williams,hobbs,cheney,bags , and Kelly. Kelly seems to be great for the  defensive end on the 3 man front or an outside edge rusher.  Logan and Vaughn would be the ideal outside linebackers edge rushers.
