He's listed as a LB on the depth chart but playing DE (preseason, I know) and has #98. Is there a chance he'll be playing DE in the future? Another hybrid player?

Was I seeing things? Because to me he looked like he was lining up as a rush OLB as is the case with 3-4 defenses. I saw that he was in on a few plays and I saw him bull rush the Bucs RT into the backfield causing Cassel to scramble to the left. Kinda like a Terrell Suggs...in a 3 or 4 point stance.

Crable is listed at LB by the Pats despite the #98. I didn't see the game tonight, but can't imagine him playing a true 3-4 DE at 241 lbs. As Warpig mentioned, he is the classic 'rush' OLB who will likely frequently play with a hand on the ground as a 4th lineman on passing downs.
