3-4 OLB to 4-3 LB question...

I have been wondering about this for a while. If a 3-4 OLB HAD TO play LB in a 4-3, wouldn't the weakside be easiest for him to transition to since he doesn't have to worry about the TE that much and also since that's where most hybrid DEs play when their defense switches from a 3-4 to a 4-3?

If we're sticking with strictly weak/strong here, I would think that the strong side would be easier, as they are often on the LOS head-up over the TE with similar responsibilities.

But OLBs in a 3-4 rarely cover TEs. Most of the time that's the ILB job. OLBs are mainly pass rushers in a 3-4. The strong side in a 4-3 requires the LB to cover the TE most of the time.

      Okay then, tell me what your expectations are for Thielen, XL, and Coker this year If someone wants to come out there and say they think Thielen is only getting 600-700 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to then expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. If someone wants to say they think XL or Coker is going to fall back to 300 yards this year, then yea, I'm going to expect T-Mac to get to 1,000. People seem to think I'm making excuses for why T-Mac can't get there, but it's the literal opposite, my expectations for him stem from my belief our other WRs for the first time in who knows how long.   We finally have a legitimate and full WR room, not sure that's happened since the Smitty and Moose days.  It's going to make them all better players, but it will also suppress all of their stats as they're all going to cannibalize each other a little bit.

      It’s certainly not my shining moment. But I still made it. Running the Sacramento marathon in December and hope to have a more Jake Delhomme-level of stardom there. The Everyman that overcomes obstacles to almost reach the pinnacle of success only to have it taken away by Adam Vinateri.
