Assuming/hoping Tuitt comes back and VanGorden brings the 4-3 base package. What is does our starting defense look like next season?
Tuitt, Jones, Day, Rochell (thinking Day or Rochelle will be moved inside)
Smith, Grace, Williams/Okwara
Russell, Redfield, Shumate, Luke
Personally believe Redfield can get us in the lines up and just let Shumate use his athleticism shutting down whoever is he is lined up against. Also think Russell and Luke can be left on an island.
Ishaq/Okwara would definitely be a RE. This is how it would look imo:
