I think in a 3-4, Orakpo definitely plays LB. They would want to use him like Ware.

Yeah I agree, Rak has 3-4 OLB written all over him.

yeah, and he would probably rush the passer more than he did overall this year, while only dropping into coverage a few times a game.

Re: Shanahan wants a 3-4 Defense

I just want to point out that a 3-4 doesn't have to have a huge nose tackle or huge defensive lineman for that matter. When Wade Phillips was in Atlanta running the 3-4 he was using Andre Carter type players at DE and stressing gap penetration. Hopefully they're thinking of using a 3-4 with an emphasis on gap penetration.
