Well I guess technically he would still be called an outside LB in a 4-3, you wouldn't line him up as your Mike. But it's a completely different position than an OLB in a 3-4.

To me that's also an advantage of the 4-3: you have 3 LBs behind the line of scrimmage.

In the 3-4 we only have 2.
And when we say we already play most of our snaps in a 4-3, it's false: we play a lot of snaps in a 4-2/nickel. Even when we have 4 guys in a 3 points stand, we only have 2 LBs behind that.

Having, for say, Zach Brown (WLB), Mason Foster (MLB) and Ryan Anderson (SLB) behind Galette(/Smith), Ioannidis, Allen and Kerrigan would make us a lot stronger against the run, wouldn't it ?
