Mike Fisher Speculation: Believes the team is going to 4-3

[LatinMind]

He said he believes from what he was told we will be a 4-3 team next year

Does Dallas have the personnel to change to a 4-3?

[Teague31]

Lee in the middle.
Carter at SLB
No spencer.
We need at least 3 new DL to make the switch

[perrykemp]

Then you don't need Spencer. He isn't a DE type.

I always thought Ratliff more suited to a 4-3 RE and now he may be gone and they only have like 4 DLs on the roster. Maybe the first pick is a 4-3 RE and Hatcher goes to the inside with Lissemore, Crawford at LE.

Isn't that what he played at Purdue?

He would be just fine as a 4-3 DE. His size is fine.

Yes it was.

I don't see why he couldn't play it in the NFL. Though it will be an adjustment.

Lee was a much better OLB than ILB while in college.

He screams 3 tech to me. I doubt he will be back though.

I would be on board with a switch to the 4-3.

With the way we grade out ILB's (Lee, Carter, Bowman, Wagner), we could move Lee to SLB, Carter to WLB, and rely on the front office to work their magic again to land a stud MLB in the draft.

Who would play SLB in a 4-3? Sims was a WLB in Detroit (and that's where everyone is saying Carter would fit in a 4-3). Could Lee play SLB or would he be better in the middle? Could Sims play the middle if Lee was used on the outside?
