What will our D-Line look like next year? [Archive] - Dallas Cowboys Forum

I was wondering if we switch to a 3-4, what will our D-line look like?? Fergy in the middle, and what, Glover and Ellis on the ends? I thought that in a 3-4, DE's had to be able to drop back into coverage. I can't really see either of them doing that. So what are we going to do, wouldn't it just be easier to stick with a 4-3? Have Glover and Fergy in the middle, Ellis on one end, and maybe Spears at the other end?

With the players we have, I think we better keep with 4-3 for now.

I really think Merriman is this yrs Suggs but just my opinion.

I am very wary of Erasmus James. Really think he has bust written all over him. Was great in the 1st half of the year but tailed off and watching the bowl game seemed outclassed vs GA. No not a homer, live in ATL was born in Milwaukee. I have been wrong about many a draft prospect but I think Erasmus is a very late 1st rd pick at best, even with teams hurting for DE's.

I agree about E. James. Not that he is the end all, but Mel Kiper has James falling on most teams' draft boards. I really don't like Merriman either. Spears would be my pick or try to pick up a 3rd year free agent.
