From experience in league 1, I'm not sure if it was because of the specific player, but the 4-3/3-4 distinction seemed pretty critical for the OLBs.

Melvin Ingram was absolutely terrible for me in a 4-3 set. I switched in Malcolm Smith because he was listed as a Sam and the guy just tore it up for the last 5 weeks of the season. Nothing I could find suggested that Smith should've been more effective at literally everything (more sacks, a couple of picks including a TD, in 1/3 the games), but he was.

I'd have to be pretty hard-up to play another 3-4 OLB at 4-3 OLB at this point, the experiment went pretty horribly.
