If this could help our pass defense, I would be in favor of this move. If not, then I would suggest they stay with a 4-3 defense.

If the Vikings wanted to move to a 3-4 defense, here's what I feel could work:

NT: Start Ayodele (318 lbs.) for now. Rotate in Guion and Evans. Draft a 320+ lb. NT (unless they can find someone good in free agency).

DE: Start Kevin Williams and Christian Ballard.

OLB: Start Jared Allen and Brian Robison, backed up by Everson Griffen.

ILB: Start Greenway, and draft a 3-4 ILB or sign one in free agency. Perhaps Erin Henderson or Jasper Brinkley could back up the 2 starting ILB's.

As much as I like E.J. Henderson, I just think the time may be right to move forward without him. Thoughts, anyone? ]]> vikesrgreat2 http://www.purplepride.org/blogs/vikesrgreat2/should-vikings-move-3-4-defense-29/
