What do you think of UT going to the 3-4 defense this year? Do you think they have the personnel to make that change in 2012 and be a top 4-6 defense in the league or will they need another year or two to recruit the type of DL they will need and maybe more linebackers.

I was watching some game replays over the weekend and a thought occurred to me that I don't recall anyone bringing up. Do you think that given the success of moving Ingram inside last year that the staff might take the opportunity to try to do the same with Chaz Sutton from time to time? I know he isn't the same "spinning top" that David Pollack was talking about Ingram being, but he does have some decent athleticism and speed to be able to get by a guard in passing situations that was part of the success of having Ingram in there last year. I don't know that this was even tried in the spring but it seems like Sutton has shown flashes of really good play from time to time and although he'll spell Taylor or Clowney for some plays, I would think that there might be an opportunity to get him on the field in good position to make more plays if he could be used in a similar fashion. I was thinking that we may have found a potential wrinkle in our scheme by basically having three DE's and one DT on the field on certain plays and he would be the guy I could see trying to fill that role this year.
