Pollack was a 4-3 DE.
Jarvis Jones was a 3-4 OLB.
When in an even front (nickel), they essentially had the same job.
I'm not sure I'd agree on that. Pollack never stood up pre snap and alwasy had his hand in the dirt matched up against an OT or TE. Jarvis would occasionally line up outside the DE, but was almost always standing up several yards off the LOS. He'd rush the passer (very well) or play coverage, while Pollack was almost always clogging lanes or getting after the passer (also quite well).
I wouldn't really say their positions or duties were all that similar. But yes, both very dominant.

Well, this thread is ruined now.

It is the exact same player in an even nickel front.
Neither left the field for the extra DB.
I get what you are saying when Jarvis was in an odd front. Totally different position (stand up outside linebacker).
But we played a lot of nickel. I don't see how they are different when both alignments are an even 4.

I'm not sure MeanSonny is old enough to remember all of that. Pollack was never a stand up linebacker.
