Same could be said for DT. OLB in a 3-4, in a 4-3 he'd have to put his hand in the dirt. Not that they couldn't have done it, but I wonder if that wouldn't have effected their performance. CBs and S would be about the same. DJ and Mr. Lanier would be great as either an ILB or a MLB. Just a thought.

that's exactly what they did with DT. He was a 3-4 OLB when Bill Cowher and Dave Adolph were DC; when they switched to a 4-3, they called him the "Falcon hybrid"; he lined up at DE and OLB, depending...
