WTF is so difficult about this for you people to grasp? You're all so damned caught up in the details that don't mean a damned thing that you can't see the blatantly obvious.

Because you are still trying to suggest that Suggs is a LB (and/or DE), nevermind that he is one of 16 OLBs in the 3-4 who are DEs (who happen to play some LB). 16 of 16 OLBs in a 3-4 were DEs converted into LBs.

You don't understand why that's important? It's because NFL teams are saying... if you're going to be a 3-4 OLB, we're going to teach pass rushers how to play a little bit of LB.

Again, the fact that you don't see any difference between a 4-3 OLB and a 3-4 OLB suggests that you're the one that doesn't grasp defense.
