Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 573200">As to the OP question...not even on a good day against a poor running team with this personnel.Guion has been a disapointment.  He was getting blown off the ball all day by that patchwork CHI offensive line.  I'd like to think his problems stem from missing training camp and perhaps being brought back early from the hamstring.  Based on his play alone, with no assumptions about conditioning or injuries, he's got no business playing NT, be it 0 or 1 gap.Boyd has not been much better at NT; he looks better at DE when we do play a 3 man front.Datone Jones looks like our next DL-to-OLB conversion project.Pennel looks like he has the muscle and motor for traditional 3-4, but he's raw.  But with the way Guion and Boyd are playing on the nose he might see more snaps.Neal...he's a gamer and a decent pass rusher but he's just too small to be playing DE.Peppers has no place in 3-4 DL...he's a 9 technique guy all the way...whether standing or down.There was never a plan to play traditional 3-4 with a 0 tech NT...Raji was going to be playing the 1 tech...and there were a lot of eggs in that basket that of course never had a chance to materialize.</blockquote>
