To be considered an OLB, you need to be able to shift your hips and run with the backs and tight ends. This guy can't do that so he is actually 4-3 defensive end. I don't understand your confusion.

Not that he's good at coverage but he really hasn't been a major problem with it when he's played simply because it's not that common for him to have to cover somebody. Julius peppers can turn and run with backs and TE but he rarely has to. Shea McClellan is still available I think, maybe we should pay him 5m lol

We play some kind of hybrid because we have a lot of square pegs in round holes and it is disingenuous to call the defense the Packers play a 3-4.

I put that at least partly on Capers though. He's the one who wants these tweeners.

But I agree, we need TWO bookends now. Clay's getting older, not even sure he still has it anymore.

A 3-4 OLB is an edge rusher, being able to cover is a plus but not a deal breaker. All they are usually covering is short stuff to the flats or in the backfield. Any 3-4 D would take someone who can play the run and rush the passer but can't cover over someone who can cover but isn't as good at anything else. Nick Perry plays on the edge in a 2 point stance so he's an OLB, not that there's a big difference either way.

This teams personnel has changed a lot over the years with various different strengths and weaknesses yet Dom has always found a way to use his 2-4-5 and other packages with extra secondary players over 70% of the time. I don't think that's going to change much no matter what players we have.
