+1.

I think Mo could hold up on the inside in the 4-3 but Coples would be more of a "tweener" and would get swallowed in the run game. We would still need an edge rusher like Abe. Maybe Coples could be that guy but he looks better rushing from the inside.

Harris would be an even bigger liability in pass coverage than he is now and I am not sure if he is a sideline to sideline LB so we would be vulnerable against the run too.
