The NFL is too much of a passing league to have a DE playing LB even on first and second down. If you want to have a DE who is just a pass rush specialist then bring him off the bench when you bring in the 5th DB (who now plays more snaps than our 3rd LB).
I agree with that. They still drop him into coverage from time to time, not a big fan of that either.
