OLBs are DEs in the sub package and we need 2 of them in there. We surely dont have ILBs who can do that. And I dont see which ILBs could be 34 base OLBs.
I dont know that we need a 4th OLB if these 3 stay healthy, but I dont ever remember us only having 3 OLBs.
I think Dane Fletcher is going to be the 4th OLB. He needs to put on about 10 Lbs but is the same size as TBC and Ninkovich otherwise. He had several sacks in College and just need to get up to NFL speed after being injured during the preseason.
He's been listed on the unofficial depth chart behind Ninkovich for a couple of weeks now.
Says good things about the play @ OLB

They need one spot for Ojinnaka, presumably.
But they sure seem to need depth at OLB a lot more than guard, given the play of Connolly, Neal, Wendell.
He still doesn't have the ideal height for OLB even at 6'2, but I ass-ume that he'll be getting more reps there at practice.
OLB depth is now officially the thinnest - and the overall talent the worst - in the last decade. This defense may not reach 24 sacks for the entire season.
What game did you watch yesterday?That's why we come here.
The Patriots entered the pre-season terribly thin at OLB.
Murrell started one game at OLB; Burgess the other three.
Both have now been released.
They got a sum total of nothing from the LOLB position in the Cincinnati game.
But there's a rosey side to it.
I think we can put him there now, could have last week too.Can we put Maneri on the PS after 3 games?
If our OL shows they can block the Jets, I'd start looking into that rumored(at least from SF) Mankins for Manny Lawson +++ We're going to need bodies soon. Even if we sign Mankins. I wonder what they would want for Lawson.
McGinest is coming back

The 3 game rule is for plucking someone off another teams practice squad I believe,
