We've tried it before. Monty seems to struggle a lot more in Griff's position against the run. When they were both rookies, we got gashed by then winless Tennessee. Against Detroit, they had a lot of success running on us, with Griffin out.
I don't think it's plausible to have Montgomery anywhere but the nose. Could Golston play the three-shade? I think he could, but he wouldn't be much of a threat to rush the passer from there.
I think if we're unable to add a three shade DT in the third round of the upcoming draft, we'll probably just go at it again with the same group of guys we have now.
Another solution is Demetric Evans, who has a lot of experience playing the three shade in those pass rushing situations. Could he hold up against the run as well as Griffin does as a full time starter? I doubt it, but it might be worth a try.
