Actually. They do. It just makes Clay Matthews useless, and I don't think people are gonna accept that.

DE - Perry
DT - Raji
DT - Pickett
DE - Daniels/Worthy
SLB - Hawk
MLB - Bishop
RLB - Matthews/Walden
CB - Shields
FS - Burnett
SS - Jennings/Richardson
CB - Williams/House

I believe CJ Wilson was a natural 4-3 DE. If those guys can't beat him out for a 3-4 DE spot they probably wouldn't beat him at his natural position. I think the line would probably look more like:

Perry
Raji/Pickett
Neal/Worthy/Daniels
Wilson

They would have to get some more DEs because I don't think Neal, Worthy and Daniels are really the edge rush type.

They just don't fit, unless we drafted a good pass rushing 4-3. But it's just as easy to fix this team as a 3-4 with a few players on the line and not becoming a vanilla team while hindering your most valuable player.

I don't like Dom Capers decision-making at all, unless I do. The son-of-a-bitch constantly pisses me off with his concepts of "prevent" and the 3 man rush. I'm REALLY pissed, because I think I need to TRUST him, as MAYBE that OTHER criminal TED, gave him enough to work with for THIS year!

AHHHH!

He could use more talent and health, sure, but they still have to do a better job in the playoffs.

I REALLY DON'T LIKE his d that much at all, but he DID help us win a friggin' SB. and he isn't going anywhere, plus it's the off-season, and I don't feel like bitching about it anymore right now. That's my short answer, lol

I'd like a mix between our Super Bowl defense and last year's... Can actually prevent teams from getting 500 yards a game, but still get critical turnovers.

Could they play better? Sure.
