Edds probably does. Since he is considered strong in coverage, but not an edge setter against the run, he's probably a good fit playing the Moe LB position, which is Crowder's spot right now.

can crowder play outside in the 3-4?

From reports I've read, yes he can. But with the personnel we're acquiring lately, I don't think we'll need him there.

He never has. I suppose he COULD try out for SOLB, as his coverage skills are probably better than the other OLBs we have. Still, don't ask him to rush the passer. He'll likely get swallowed up by an O-Lineman.

Didn't he play WOLB in a 4-3? Or am I thinking of someone else.

He did, but that position is closer to WILB in a 3-4. OLB in a 3-4 are usually DEs in a 4-3. It's all based on skill, size, and responsibility in the defense.
