We have some big bodies in the middle with DL at 6'4" and 290 lbs. or bigger including the transfer from LSU who will be eligible this year. We certainly can't play 3 down linemen with 5'11" 280 lb. DL in the middle and 235 lb. DE.

You can be 6'4 290 and not be a fit for a 3-4 def. On the current roster there are no space eaters who demand a double team and that is what you need for it to work properly.
