[QUOTE="Favre>Rodgers259, post: 886244, member: 10866"] I am well aware of the differences in the 3-4 DE and OLB. Along with the 4-3 DE and OLB. I think people pigeonhole players because they went to a certain team and played in a system for so long. Griffen coming out of USC was scouted as a DE, OLB, and ILB (but primarily as a 4-3 DE). His body type lends him to playing a variety of positions and his talent allows him to be effective at them all. Players of certain talent levels can be scheme diverse, and I believe Griffen is one of those players. For instance, Z. Smith was a 4-3 DE coming out of Kentucky. Now he's primarily a 3-4 OLB(totally different responsibilities) for us who occasionally also plays the 5-technique DE. Gary was a 4-3 DE at Michigan, but drafted as a 3-4 OLB (which is a better projected switch) who Pettine also committed to playing more 5-technique DE. Kenny Clark played everything on the DL at UCLA, from 0 to 5 technique(even was schemed plays at ILB!), many scouts had him penciled in as purely a rotational 4-3 DT. He's one of the best NTs in the league now. [/QUOTE]
