I think his low numbers this year have more to do with age and injuries, but should we consider moving him to SLB? I don't think any of us know the plan on defense, whether Kiffin is coming back, whether Marinelli will be the defensive coordinator or if we go in another direction, but assuming we use roughly the same scheme, should Ware be moved back to LB?
Seattle uses Bruce Irvin in a LB/DE combo role, Denver uses Von Miller in a LB/DE combo role and for years the Giants used Mathias Kiwanuka, would Ware benefit from this?
If we are going to model after Seattle as opposed to Chicago/Tampa, we should consider it. Obvioulsy we don't have an Earl Thomas, but similar to Ed Reed a few years ago, there is really only one.
It leaves an even bigger hole at DE, but it could make us better overall.
RDE- George Selvie, Everette Brown
RDT- Jason Hatcher, Ben Bass, Drake Nevis
LDT- Nick Hayden, ???
LDE- Tyrone Crawford, ???
WLB- Bruce Carter, Ernie Simms
MLB- Sean Lee, Devonte Holloman
SLB- Demarcus Ware, Kyle Wilbur
Again, it makes the D-Line even more thin, then it is now, but the pieces may fit better this way. For starters, we're bigger on the D-Line, which means we can stop the run better just based on personnel, and can scheme to stop the pass.
