In regards to the DL question, it's kinda loaded. We've taken a lot of DEs high and transitioned them, somewhat poorly, to LBs. When Orakpo was a rookie he got almost all his sacks from the 4 point stance. We have some great DEs on this team, they just got moved to LB.

It's not loaded at all. They are two totally different positions with two totally different body types.

I think your post is right on the money but it wasn't what I was asking about.

Baltimore, NY Jets, Steelers all had bad ass down defensive lineman who pushed people around. Bad asses like these can mind their gaps while putting a center or guard into the QB.

I believe that the majority of teams who control the line of scrimmage win more games than they lose.
