It is really hard to find great pass rushers. In either scheme

What is most difficult is finding a good pass rusher that can also drop back into coverage or play in space effectively. I disagree that a great 4-3 DE is harder to find than a great 3-4 OLB.

I think a good coordinator can scheme an OLB more effectively though. Move them around for good matchups, disguising pre-snap. It's harder to fake performance at DE. If only we had someone talented scheming the defense.

Cheers,
Oops, now SF is switching from the 3-4 to the 4-3.

Back to 16 - 16 with 11 from the AFC playing 3-4 but only 5 from the NFC in the 3-4.

Cheers,
