y'all run a version of the 3-4 right?
Not exactly. Kentucky bounced between 4-2-5 and 3-4 last season though. 4-2-5 was seen more often on standard and passing downs (with FR McClain playing SLB/NB) and the 3-4 more on short yardage downs/run situations.
Our four man front was:
DE - Dupree
3DT - Rumph
1DT - Cobble
DE - Z. Smith
Our three man front was:
OLB - Dupree
DE - Rumph
NT - Cobble
DE - Z. Smith
OLB - Hatcher (FR)
Elam will play 1DT and NG in this system and will probably be pretty darn good. He won't start, but will play situationally as his conditioning allows.
The '14 recruiting class made it pretty obvious that the three man front is here to stay, at least in certain situations. OLB/DEs Denzil Ware (6'2 230) and Lloyd Tubman (6'5 225) are both quick-burst guys who can play up or down.
DE/DT guys like Tymere Dubose (6'6 280) and Adrian Middleton (6'5 275) will both be 3/5 guys.
Elam is clearly a 1/0 guy all the way.

I think that Lloyd Tubman will end up being pretty good. Uninformed opinion and all but I think he'll be a really valuable player.
