January 24, 2013 by Mike Dussault

Again, having had experience with 3-4 defense, a lot of those guys, the Willie McGinests, the Mike Vrabels, the Rosie [Roosevelt] Colvins, those guys, whether you want to call them outside linebackers, defensive ends, they essentially line up in the same spot and do a lot of the same things. There has to be like 80, 90 percent carryover between those positions. Now you have some coverage responsibilities that maybe a 3-4 linebacker has that some 4-3 ends don’t have although teams are dropping 4-3 ends off too so it kind of is the same. But I’d say more of it in 3-4 but the rest of it, playing at the end of the line, whether they’re up or down or in a 4-3 or 3-4, I think is a matter of semantics.

If an impact DE was available in the draft or free agency do you think the patriots would take that person and move nikovich to LB

Nah, I think they’re pretty set with Ninkovich and Jones as their edge players, whether they’re playing OLB or DE, which is really just semantics. They could use some depth though at DE, curious to see if Buchanan works his way back into some pass rushing chances.
