Cofield and Jenkins would be fine. Carriker failed miserably in St. Louis at DE and DT. That's why we got him for next to nothing. Golston isn't a starting. A starting caliber DT. Fletcher is not good anymore. And orakpo has yet to play DE in the nfl. By the way, the 4-3 limits what you can do as a defense in terms of where the blitz is coming from.

So we are gonna ignore the fact that he played DE in his rookie season when he had 11 sacks?

He was a stand up OLB buddy. They would blitz him.

I watched some of his rookie 4-3 highlights, and he was blitzing but he would also have his hand in the dirt, so we were both wrong/right-right/wrong.

Orakpo is a huge loss, and maybe our best pass rusher, but he, like Kerrigan, have limited moves, and problem which doesn't matter if its 3-4 or 4-3.
