Nobody plays an exclusive 34 or 43. On 3rd down they all look very similar. I bet mario is playing in the same position as a 43 DE on many 3rd down passing situations. It really isn't as big of a difference unless they plan to use him inside the OT on every snap. I am betting they don't. Especially since Wade has coached a 43, and he has coached a 34 where his DE was a better pass rusher than his OLB. I am guessing that priority one will be how to get Mario Williams into the best possible position to rush the passer. Watt and Reed can only help make that easier.
