Even now with a likely retention of Kubiak, at the same time it seems even more likely that Frank Bush is surely out, which brings in the issue of replacing him with a 4-3 guy or 3-4 guy ?
Along those lines, I was listening to local 610 radio yesterday as ND Kulu was talking about that subject and Marios potential role in a 3-4 D if that should
be what our Texans are operating out of next year. He says Mario would not be suitable as an OLB (totally agree wiith that), but also says he wouldn't be suited as a 3-4 DE basically because he would be underutilized (or words to that effect), and said moving him would be the best option if we could get a good deal for him ?
OK now see, I've heard many say that Marios "natural posion" is as a 3-4 DE ? He's practically the prototype guy in that scheme at that position ? And
with the increasing popularity of the 3-4 and demand for guys who can play that scheme, the price of lineman (and not just the nose tackle) is going up. For example the Chiefs in just the last couple years used their #3 overall on an LSU Dlineman to play for them in their 3-4.
