Woodley is adequate at best against the pass, but he's one of those rare talents that is phenomenal against both the run and the pass.
Even in a 4-3, an every down DE that is very good against the run/pass is probably one of the hardest positions to find in football.

We list ourselves as a 3-4 but we're really a bastard child.
We run everything.
Seemed to me (GoChiefs can probably back this up) we did the conservative thing early on rushing guys like Hali extensively but as the game progressed we moved into different coverages.
There were a few times last year we even ran the "spinner" (the much hated GROB scheme of a $#it ton of DB's and only 2 DL.)
Again, it's not about how player X fit's into the Y scheme, it's about making a dominant defense out of what you have. We drafted more than a few people who know how to rush the passer.
On top of that we might have the best emerging secondary in the NFL.
THAT makes a defense...
