If Peppers is playing OLB in a 3-4 then we can be pretty much assured he's actually just playing defensive end about 3 yards off the line. Matthews can still rush very effectively from where he's at AND by having Peppers playing next to Matthews they can actually stunt off one another. In that scenario you'd have to have Matthews in the inside so that there was a possibility of the ILB dropping into coverage (don't think many offenses are going to stay up late worrying about Peppers in coverage). Just think about how bad a TE/tackle combo is going to feel not only having to worry about Peppers barreling into them with a full head of steam but also the fact that it could actually be a stunt and now they're faced with Matthews coming from a different angle (and the same is true of the interior oline). Should be noted that this would most likely only be on obvious passing downs.</p></blockquote><p></p>
