Madden used the 3-4 when the Raiders won the SB. I really don't think Jenkins or Kampman at this stage, fits big guys who are two-gappers.

I didn't know all three players on the line had to be big DT type guys but it does make sense. In that case wouldn't it benefit the team more to sign a guy like Haynesworth who is definitely a big two-gap player like your referring to? Pair him with Pickett who I still think shouldn't be starting and another big DT and we're in business.
