Ware cannot play with his hand on the ground for an entire game.If you put Ware at end you will see him get mauled as the season goes on.Ware playing down in nickel is one thing,but when you do it full time that's another story.

No, bradie can loose some weight get down to about 234 and he will be fine. Brooking can backup if he wants too.

4-3 is the way to go im pretty sure,

it also depends on who the defensive coordinator is next year and who the head coach is.

You'd be wrong Joe. The 3-4 is not going to get scrapped so soon, not when so much effort and money has been spent on converting from a 4-3 to a 3-4. Spencer is a former number 1 pick, are you just going to jettison him, after many (myself not included) believe he is on the verge of breaking out? And re-signing Spears is a long shot, but re-signing Spears to play 4-3 DE is a pipedream. DE in a 4-3 is for catalytic players, Spears is solid but he is far from a 4-3 DE (position reserved for the big dollars).

Bradie James would be below average as a MIKE in a traditional 4-3. Can you imagine James as the MLB in a Tampa 2? He would be destroyed. Parcells called James weak as tissue paper when he was drafted (245 lbs), and had him pump up to 255 to play 4-3 OLB, then upwards of 260 to play inside. A 4-3 MIKE needs to be able to play sideline to sidline, against the run & in coverage, hardly James' strength.

And finally, Ware is the best player and the key to the D, limiting him to simply a pass rushing DE would be wasteful.

Ware played end in college.Playing end in college and playing end in the NFL are two different beasts.Ware is a tweener that can play end in nickel situations.Playing end on a full time basis is another story.Besides that why would you want to take a premier pass rushing linebacker and make him into something he isn't,which is a full time end.
