Downside to making the switch is some of the DL is undersized but there are some 3-4 types lower down the depth chart such as NT Ellis and DE C.J Wilson. Woodley, Tuck and Smith are all close to Regression in Madden so the time to switch is perfect.

Adding more to the LBs group and change the DL to suit the 3-4 would be your main aims if your going down the 3-4 route.

Will have to check out the SF FB plays

I moved Smith to RDE, where he performs well, and kept CJ Wilson at DE, as he's more of a natural size/speed/strength fit for 34 DE than 43 DE. I moved Woodley and Mayowa to backup OLB spots and put Sims at NT, where his skill set and size make enough sense.

Thus, the only player I'm playing totally out of position for year one is Tuck, and he's got 85 STR or so, so he's not terrible in that role, esp. given that he's only there for one year.

The ILB position will have to be addressed, but Roach is holding his own there for me.

Re: the FB, SF has good stuff in their I-form sets working off of motion. There's motion to wheel and motion to flats.

I'd also highly suggest putting Reece at 3rd down back. He has 90 speed and excellent catching and route running ability that rivals even that of receiving specialist halfbacks. Plus he has tremendous size. Finding a way to get him the ball often is crucial for taking advantage of OAK's roster.
