There is a reason guys come out in the draft and are taken as undersized D ends in 4-3 rather than 3-4 OLB. Often times it is because THEY CAN'T FLIP THEIR HIPS. Flipping your hips and turning to run is completely different than running a route. Your ignorance to anything actually relating to football technique obvious.
First of all there is a BIG difference between backpeddling into a zone and then flipping your hips to to catch up with a receiver running at full speed and flipping your hips when you are engaged with a receiver in press coverage. When you are already engaged with a receiver the receiver is not blowing past you at full speed. I know. I have done it.
Second of all you can't compare a TE to a D-lineman. If Uzo was too stiff in the hips to play OLB then he would not be playing TE. He is used to cutting at speed and keeping his balance.
