RDE: 6'4, 270-275 Bennett
3T: 6'2, 320-325 Rubin
NT: 6'0, 310-315 Mebane
LDE: 6'3 270-275 Clark

This monster D-Line with length and size will be exceptional against the run in the early going , and the high motors in this group will wear out O-Lines fast. While still providing a solid pass rush when needed.

This will also provide Clark needed experience to progress much faster as a starting DE.

Avril, Hill, and Irvin rotate in on Nickel Defense with Bennett and Clark sharing snaps at the other inside spot to keep each other fresh.

Then a moderately fresh Avril plays more 2nd half snaps to close out the game with Bennett and Clark rotating snaps in the RDE spot.

Then if Seahawks have a solid lead and the opposing offense starts to abandons the rush and goes to hurry up pass mode then the Seahawks input a fresh Marsh into the game whose quickness could flash brilliantly against tired and already abused Tackles. Leaving less possibility to expose Marsh's tendency to get over-powered in run defense.

Seems like it could be the recipe for consistently dominant success throughout an entire game, health withstanding.
