I believe Reddick would be able to meet the nickle "Mike" requirements perfectly fine while not having to be a "Mike" in a standard 4-3 line up. I don't know what you have seen to indicate he can't as he checks all the boxes of what you are looking for. And thinking you know how football works and that no one else does are very different things as well.
No any linebacker can't meet the needs, hence why teams draft Middle linebackers early in 4-3 schemes not OLB because they can't do the same things. Reddicks issue is going to be coverages. I'm telling you watch the tape of him in coverage, I don't see someone expected to run with TEs.
