You're absolutely right about 3-4 DE not being important. Oh wait, every succesfully run 3-4 has a stud DE. Texans, Ravens, Pitt, NE(with Seymour/Warren), especially in the 2-gap. You absolutely need to be able to get pressure from your ends in a 3-4 and be able to hold up blockers against the run to be elite running the 3-4. Its importance is even more so in our system.
