Not in a 3-4. He was legitimately very good this year in rotation. Much more comfortable standing up.

Gotcha. Yeah, I agree with this; that he was better last year. But I am not sure if that was because

1. he was in a stand up role

2. he was in a rotation and didn't have to play a full load of starters snaps

3. just maturing in year 3

Probably a combination of the 3, with a heavy emphasis on 1 and 3?

If the Vikings get evero as their dc, I imagine they will pursue broncos DL free agent, Dre’Mont Jones. 
 

hes 26, coming off his first contract and plays base end I think. He brings the heat on the qb. I imagine they like Tomlinson and want him back, but also want more juice at rushing the passer.

I liked Women, Jones, Hunter and Smith as a pass rushing end crew . . . Really thought they'd rack up 35+ sacks among the 4, but when you're dropping back in coverage, sacks don't happen.  True, these guys should seem more suited toward 4-3, but they have the physical skills to be outside in 3-4.   

KOC probably knows what a great 3-4 looks like facing Bill B's in practice everyday as a rookie.  Did the Rams run a 4-3 last year?  If so, he's seen both styles win, right?  

The team can't flip-flop schemes and develop so whatever he sticks with, put the players in position to succeed.   Anymore of Danielle covering #2 WRs and KOC needs to be taken out back for a conversation while his DC gets the switch.

Give me the younger guy with higher upside. Jones, Phillips, Tonga and Otomewo is a very solid group!
