Yeah, I think that's true.
And yeah, he got beat up a little the first time he was an LDE, but he's gotten much stronger since then and he's just flat out gotten smarter. I honestly don't see anything in his skill-set that would keep him from being among the better LDE's in the league.
Houston, by the same token, could be an
elite RDE. His explosiveness is damn uncommon for a guy with his strength. He'd have some learning to do, for sure, he'd have to pick up some pass-rush technique but he's slowly coming along there as a LOLB.
And he'd be free to do what he does well far more often - kill the QB.
As to Chris's statement that DJ was lost in a 4-3...DJ was lost in
everything when he was young. He's come so far, so fast that I think he'd easily make the transition to a 4-3. He'd be a good MLB and an outstanding Sam. It would depend in large part on who you could find in the draft/FA where you'd put him.
