we'd need to start drafting Lb'ers. Werner is the only one worth having now. I love DD,but his best days are behind him. That said, the Steelers have historically found those tweeners who can rush the Qb.
Those tweeners who rush the QB are on a teams that runs the 3-4...
This is the reason there has been a few of us have been screaming for a switch to 3-4.
Those tweeners (OLB) 99.9% of the time have much better 40, shuttle, side to side, coverage times than a DE in the 4-3.
Which means you can cover a TE or RB out of the back field better.
A 3-4 makes a lot more sense in today's NFL with all of the mobile QB's that can throw the ball...
Werner would get moved to ILB in a 3-4 because his side-line to side-line coverage isn't the best..
No one mentioned it but Nephi Sewell played a pretty good game replacing Werner this past week!
