I guess we can consider Von Belll and Hilton line backers as well?Well no kidding HS doesn't apply to NFl defenses. So if you're in a 3-4 or a 3-5-3 and you want to bounce to a 50 set, dropping your OLBs down into an 8 or 9 tech isn't what you'd do? I was trying to get Jake's reasoning. You're correct in that we put another DT(Toupou) out there in the 5-2, and I agree with you that Sam and Trey are DEs.
You and the kid that thinks ADG is on the level of Von Miller need to freshen up on defensive formations.
Defensive Ends are designated as Defensive Ends for a reason. OLB in a 3-4 are OLB for a reason - I get that Watt at Pittsburgh blurs this a bit but the vast majority are like Micah Parsons. OLB in a 3-4 are not even the same type/size as OLB in a 4-3.
For the record, never said ADG was on the same level as Von Miller. I said, (as an experiment until Trey gets healthy) we should try to use ADG in a Von Milller type 3-4 UNDER role to give Brady a different look. My reasoning is b/c a pressure, gap control defense isn't going to bother Tom much IMO. Fournette isn't to beat us rushing the ball; however, Tom Brady and Chris Godwin could be very problematic given how thin we are at CB.
As stated by another poster, ADG is the only LB we have that could remotely play this role b/c all of our LBs are more 40 and 50 set types. We just don't have a player that's a 3-4 OLB and that's why we talk things out on here.
