Will only work if JK can successfully convince Jones he serves the team best by staying home and sitting on top of the back line. This allows Bradley to push higher, but still play as a 2-way player, with Johnson and Zusi pushing higher still, and tucking inside in attack. Width will come from Cherundolo and Castillo overlapping from the back. Altidore stays high and central, and Dempsey is allowed to roam and find the game. Donovan has to beat out Johnson or Zusi to find the field (push Johnson back to LB and play Donovan on either wing opposite Zusi).
