Obviously, a 4-3 DE has their hand down, and a 3-4 OLB is in a 2 point stance, but other than that it's not that significant? From my understanding, I always thought the point of the 3-4 is that the defense can send 4 rushers at any time, but since there are only 3 down linemen, it could be any of the 4 LB's that are rushing, though typically it will be the ROLB.  In that case, the LOLB would have to be ready to drop into coverage on a pretty consistent basis to cover tight ends, running backs, or just drop into a zone.  Though it does make sense that the LOLB would be a better run defender because that's what a LE is as well.  So would you say that a guy like Kyle Van Noy or Jeremiah Attaochu would be a better LOLB for the Packers? Both could be available in the 2nd round, but Van Noy is more of a pure LB while Attaochu is a better pass rusher.</p></blockquote><p></p>
