They kinda do.  The nickel simply replaces the 3rd LB with a NCB.  If we didnt have Hilton, would ADG play more?

Eagles run 3 DTs as a base with smaller rushers that also have LB responsibilities.

We run 3 DTs in goal line and short yardage.

I do agree he would be a blitz only guy for us, but there is a reason we never have 230 pound DE's, the 4 man front requires bigger guys, thus we have no one under 263. 

I get it that many are infatuated with a player like him, but the guy is the size of ADG.  Also, according to many of us that watched a lot of UGA football, he never really reached his potential. I was rooting hard for him vs the Browns though....
