I don't think that'd be his job, unless as a zone blitz assignment. I think his job would on a passing down would be to hit the TE, preventing a clean release, and rush the QB. the actual coverage would fall to the ILB and/or SS.
again, I don't know, I'm speculating. I am assuming that Pioli and Haley know football, and I can't imagine that they think Hali is going to be a traditional OLB. I don't think that's the planned responsibility.
