this year foreshadowing next year's defense?

We put Orakpo in at OLB because he is undersized for an end. He needs more body to stand up against the run, but from the OLB spot he keeps the first level guys off of him more often and can use his speed. While I agree that Orakpo would make a good LB in a 2-4, Haynesworth does not. He is a 4-3 guy and would be a waste of the overpayment we gave him to ask him to simply be the plug in a 3-4.
