If one wanted to maximize the amount of metal in compression, shouldn't the engines be on pylons above the wing? It'd cut down on FOD too. It could also make off-airport landings a bit safer as torque around the yaw axis might not be a great during touchdown.

After an excellent landing you can use the airplane again!
