No, not really Atkins esque at all. 3-4 OLB are anywhere from 245-270. They tend to not be asked to do what your inside guys get asked to to do. They do a lot of spot coverage with an occasional HB out the backfield. It’s why a lot of teams will draft DE from college to play as 3-4 OLB and same thing the other way.
Even Dunlap is athletic enough to play LOLB if they wanted to go Lawson Atkins Billings Glasgow Dunlap. Maybe even move him inside to the 5 tech on passing downs.
But what kinda 3-4 would you prefer the 2 gap linemen or that single gap 34 defense that Wade Phillips runs.
