Not always true. A lot of NT position players couldn't switch to the difference assignments of the 3 or 5 technique in a 4-3 scheme. A NT just eats space and takes on blockers. 4-3 DT would have a lot more responsibilities.

Basically think of Haynesworth. Well, Haynesworth is because he is worthless and lazy, some probably just don't have the skill set for it. If this guy can do shuttle runs without having to stop and take a crap in between, I say trade for the guy sight unseen otherwise...

There typically aren't any 5-techs in a 4-3.
And the role of a 1-tech is easy for a player used to playing 0-tech in a 3-4.

Al is a bad example.
You're making the reverse assumption Rubin would be going from a 0-tech in a 3-4 to a 1-tech in a 4-3.
Al was going from a freelancing all around beast to a gap control space eating 2-gap read and react NT/DE.

Al could have played that role, but I actually agree with him that it was a waste of his talent.
You don't see the Packers playing Cullen Jenkins as a NT or a 2-gap DE.

Find an example of a 3-4 NT that couldn't play in a 4-3.

What do you think, we already have Beck.

Does Flynn come with the Packers WRs, OL and McCarthy calling plays?
Or do we just get Flynn?

Yep. and Hells no. Maybe it's like Payless Shoes BOGO (Buy One Get One)??? That would be cool. If you could take Flynn and one other who would it be?

Very good point.

GB loves Flynn, because he can win them games when Rodgers goes down, I think GB would be asking for atleast a 3rd rounder for him..No thanks.(Good player though)
