Then again, I'm a huge Vrabel fan, got 4 of his jerseys :X |
Well Nink can play OLB in 3-4 and 4-3. I dont remember Vrabel ever playing LB in a 4-3. But he could also play ILB in 3-4 and I dont think nink has.
I think Vrabel is better in every phase of the game except forcing fumbles. I might be overrating Vrabel/underrating Nink's passrushing skill. |
The Pats ran a 4-3 for Vrabel's first 3 years with the team |

Well I was 8, so I don't remember to much of that 4-3 and I honestly assumed he would've be a DE. SO that's my bad.

The only thing I can point out that Ninkovich do better is not jump offsides like Vrable.
