My initial thought was to start him at the three technique in the base defense, getting Rubin off the field, but Carroll mentioned before that he was playing the least well there.
You could play him in the nickel package, but that takes Irvin or Hill off the field.
You could use him as a backup to Bennett or Avril, but that takes reps away from the two best pass rushers.
It's a good "problem" to have.
Put him in Irvin's spot at LB, what the hell.
Trade Irvin to Atlanta, he won't be missed.
That would be a huge transition for him to SLB, developing coverage skills, and again, I'm not sure it would be the best utilization of his strengths.
More precisely, stack the front with 5, let him roam.
Teams will need to keep their TE in to help block, so one threat averted.
Just going all over the place with our wonderful predicament. is all.
