That leaves you with 8 guys to fill 2 spots. Matthews is a constant at ROLB; and dunderdummy has Hawk and B.Jones on the field for every snap - that's 3 of the 6 spots taken right there. Throw in at LB, Mulumba, Barrington, Bradford, and Lattimore; and assume Neal will start at LOLB... No matter how you slice it - in order to be more effective in our front six/seven, dunderdummy is going to have to play more 3-3 and 4-2 nickel; and he's going to have to play more 3-4, 4-3 base. Of course Capers has no interest in playing anything other than a 2-4 - so how are we going to realize any better results if Capers refuses to adjust??</blockquote>
