Eehhhh I don't know if it's that cut and dry. There isn't nearly the importance on them like there is in a 3-4 scheme, but you still need guys that are DTs and guys that are clearly ends. We played Pollack at DT in 2001, then switched him to end in 2002 for instance. Your sentence makes it sound like they just take the best 4 linemen and throw them out on the line in any ol' random order. I think if yall put Whitaker at end it probably wouldn't be a good move
