CB1: Michael Jackson
CB2: Sheldrick redwine
Nickel: Trajan Bandy
Free Saftey: Jaquan
Strong: Amari Carter
MLB: Pinkney
WLB: Derrick Smith

DE: Patchan
DE: Garvin
NT: Willis
DT: Joe Jackson (assuming he can gain 10-15 pounds)

Now, this defense could get it's *** busted against the run, but the speed + tackling combination at every position is the best I can think of. Pinkney, who has amazing timing, would be shooting gaps like he has been for 2 years. Derrick smith would be your run/hit specialist who can hold his own in coverage. Also, I know it's crazy to put Joe jackson at RJ McIntosh's position, but I think he could actually play that position and could be a nightmare against a pooty guard. With the QB easily contained on the ends with Patchan and Garvin, either Joe Jackson or Willis would get a 1 on 1. Good luck running sideways, and pray for any QB who can't hit a WR off press coverage.

Thoughts?

Your idea of the perfect base defense?

I like out of the box thinking. Too many automatons on here can't think creatively.

Personally i think a 5-1-5 would be an even better fit.

Viper - Pinckney, McCloud, Joyner
DT - Willis, Bethel, Silvera, Martin
NT - Ford, Odenigbo, Miller
DT - D Jackson, Garvin, Martin
Elephant - J Jackson, Patchan, Rousseau

LB - Shaq, Steed, Jennings, M Smith

CB - Jackson, Dean, Bethel
Rover - Smith, Wilder, Finley
FS - Redwine, Hall, Blades
Rover - J Johnson, Carter
CB - Bandy, Frierson, Ivey

This would just be the base defense. The beauty of this defense is the flexibility. The rovers can both come into the box to give us 8 men to stop run heavy offense and to cover slants and curls around the hash marks. The 5 DL can provide a crazy pass rush against pass heavy offenses. And we won't need to recruit giant 2 gap nose guards that are few and far between in FL because with 5 DL, the OL can't double team anyone without help. Instead, this plays to the Florida recruiting grounds that are chock full of 260lb type DT/DE tweeners.

The DEs in this scheme can all be used flexibly as well - perfect for DE/OLB tweeners that are also everywhere in Florida. I have two standard DEs in the Elephant role on the DL now, but eventually, that position will mirror the Viper and will contain the Brooks and Rousseaus of the world.

Take Shaq off the field? Makes perfect sense, I can't see how this could go wrong.
