He planned to slim down even before the switch and IMHO the lighter he became the less effective he became, he was never going to be a speed edge guy. He was always at his best as a bull rushing technician. There is some explosion and fluidity in Datone's game that Kamp never had.The reality is that most DEs fail to make it at the Pro level whether they stay at DE or move out to OLB. For some the switch makes them more effective, Clay Matthews, for others they simply lack the natural ability. A common 43 alignment is the 43 under which is basically a 34 setup and functions like a 34 but with 4 guys with their hand in the dirt. You have an NT, a 3 tech DT, a 5 tech DE and then you have the elephant end in 7 tech. What's an elephant end? An elephant end lines up in the 7 tech position, he's mostly a pass rusher but he drops into coverage and plays in space more than your usual DE. Nick Perry played as an elephant end at USC.</blockquote>
