Outside linebackers are pass rushers, inside linebackers have double duty of having to stop the run but also stop the pass with only two LB in most cases. As long as Jack doesn't have to do the play calling/diagnosing he should be pretty well equipped athletically to be a modern 3-4 ILB.

Ok, so he can play ILB together with Schobert(16m cap hit so he will be starting) in base but what about nickel and dime packages? If we move to a 3-3-5 then one of him, Allen and Chaisson will be on the sideline unless you can play Jack as safety. Playing a 4-2-5 would make room for all of them but is on the other hand more like what we have today. 

I asked someone this before but could you explain the difference between a Ravens 3-4 and a Jaguars 4-3 Under?
