I believe Noble is a servicable tackle at best. We really haven't seen what he can do on the field since he has been hurt pretty much the whole time he has been here. So to say we miss him, I really can't say. Griffin is the one that is obviously missed. I hope he can get on the field soon, because with out him our ends have no chance at getting any kind of pressure, which we have seen the last four games. I do believe we should go to the 3-4 given our lack of depth at tackle and more importantly I think we are more athletic in that allignment. Its harder to defend and can confuse QB on who is coming on the blitz. I think we would still be decent against the run and would be able to defend the pass a bit better than we are. In that allignment we could also move Tayloy up at the 4th LB in certain packages and confuse O lineman more my either sending him on the blitz or dropping him back in coverage. He is a playmaker, as Lavar and Washington are, and I think we need to put him in position to make plays.
