To clarify on Zaire, I don’t think he was ever on the practice squad.Really? Mikel didn't? It took Zaire years on PS, then ST's, and only then did he get his chance because Shaq Leonard tore his acl. Love Marlowe but I don't think it's as cut and dry as you think. Also, 3-3-5 is a bit of a gimmick defense which I don't believe many NFL defenses run it. Just typing out loud but maybe a different defense intrigues him and shows off his versatility. I did think he was better as a Jr not playing MLB. Not sure the difference with his responsibility in this scheme but I think this will showcase his best skill and that is stopping the run.
