[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878699"] Well, it's like any other position. There are different kinds of edges suitable for different roles. Some edge players are more suitable to 3-4 OLB, some more suitable for 4-3 DE, some versatile enough to move to the interior line in nickel, some vertile enough to play stand-up or hand in the dirt in a multi-scheme. The techniques in playing upright vs. down lineman are quite different. It's just that a 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE are more similar in that they are leading pass rushers from outside the tackle. It's more a way to differentiate a 4-3 DE from a 3-4 DE which have fewer similarities in their roles as such. It's no different than some WRs and CBs are more suitable for slot play, others on the perimenter, some who can flex, some who can play safety. Some TEs are H-backs who play in the backfield and in-line known for blocking ability, others are oversized WRs who get in a guy's way more than block him, Pro Bowlers who can do both. There are strong safeties who can play nickle ILB, others who don't quite have the knack for that. If a draft analyst puts an edge player in the edge bucket without regard to scheme fit in ******* where he might go, one of two things is happening. The player has shown the rare ability to play up and down in college ball with equal facility or the analyst is lazy. [/QUOTE]
