Jahfari Harvey if he’s moved to an OLB Jack rusher position as opposed to a traditional 4-3 DE.

Elijah Roberts & Leonard Taylor as either 5 or 7-technique rushers as well.

It’ll help Kamren Kinchens a lot too by giving him a more defined role on the backend rather than having to play in Manny’s chaotic scheme that places the responsibility of 3 different coverage shells on one Safety.

Who will it hurt? Depends on who they view as the starters at ILB, in a more 3-4 base front you’d prefer more athleticism in the middle so theoretically speaking there’s a number of LB’s you could put there. It may inadvertently hurt Keontra Smith if he’s not put in a more defined position, in a 3-4 you could play him at Sam Backer, but it’s not really his fault because manny basically like a Rover Nickel that played LB & Striker at the same time. Gilbert is in that same category, in a traditional 3-4 his role will be less clear, in the 4-2-5 he was a Hybrid LB/S, Keontra & Gil are actually better suited for a 3-3-5 system, but both of them can still be valuable assets if used correctly.

It should help TAC see the field much quicker as well, he’d be perfect at Mike LB in a new scheme.

Chase Smith has kinda already broke out, but he’s definitely going to be a rising star in the new defense.

Saw this after my reply. Didn't think of TAC, but interested to see who gets MLB duties. I added some other thoughts in my post.

Someone’s going to be the odd man out, even if they go to a 3-3-5 because of the issues at LB. Does Keontra stay at LB? Or move to the hybrid safety spot? If so, does he go back to splitting reps with Frierson? Then who’s the odd man out at safety between the Williams duo and Kinchens? I’m really curious to see who the next DC will be and what we’ll be running.
