I would personally have Simmons and Sweat on opposite sides. That way teams can’t make their blocking calls centered toward them and run away from them both. Simmons commands a double and most teams will have to help their LT against Sweat by using a TE or RB. That leaves some wide open blitzing lanes for LB’s to hammer QB’s. Also makes DL twists more effective.
That would be an old school 4-3. I'd be down with that at times but watching and reading on him he uses some fire zone blitzes and plays the DT's in 2's and 2I's and slants them. I like it.

Its a lot harder to prepare for and is harder on the OL when you dont know who is going where and when
